Notes below are courtesy of my cousin Margaret Spence;
She had two children Ola Smith and Johnny Smith they were illegitimate and after she married Anderson. Ola married a Jackie Leslie and they lived in Longhope and Stromness her husband was a coxswain on the lifeboat in Longhope and Stromness I think. Ola had 3 daughters I think and 2 sons. Sons were Vincent and Gifford Leslie, and Gifford owns the West End Hotel in Kirkwall with his partner Robert ?( can't remember his last name) John Smith married a girl from Thurso and I think he has a daughter and a son, but not sure I know his daughter is still in Thurso or Castletown, where I think Johnny died but not certain. Ola and Johnny are both dead now. He was a steward on the St. Ola boat in Stromness.
Maggie Ann Louttit had a daughter named Lena to the Anderson man she married, and she left them when Lena was about two, and his mother helped him bring her up. Lena died in 1996, and is buried in Finstown. Maggie Ann also had another son called Vincent who died after being burnt in the bath. Don't know who his father was, but he was born before Ola.
Also Uncle Henry who Married Helen Scougal had a son Charles Alexander, no children to 1st wife Helen was called Nellie.
