I'm looking for information on Catriona Gillies for research into the Ross-shire SWRI Federation History. I can find most of her siblings but nothing for a Catriona. was her name really Catherine Jessie Gillies?

Catriona was my great aunt. Although she was registered as Catherine Jessie Gillies at birth, we only knew her as Catriona. The reason may be that her parents were from Skye and spoke gaelic at home. My mother was named Catriona after her auntie.
