Emiline Robina Imlah and Mary Emiline Imlah: My first Cousins 3x times removed.

Emiline Robina Imlah

Emiline was born on the 3rd of July 1886 on High Street in Buckie, Scotland. Her parents Alexander Imlah and Mary MacKay lived on High Street from 1885 until Alexander died in 1918.
The 1911 census shows ‘Emily’ Robina Imlah boarding with Elsie Clark at Craigside Lodge, Ardconnel Street, Inverness. The census does not give any details about her occupation. I could find no marriage record for Emiline, she died sometime in 1979 in Inverness Scotland at the age of 93.
