minnie,i dont know what to say,im gobsmacked at all the info,isabella was unmarried but if the father died*(ww1 )then she wouldnt have been able to keep the child,this looks like my rellie,everything is falling into place(family rumour says that my grandfathers father went to war and promised isabella he would marry her when he came home but was killed,but nobody believed the story,everyone thought she was making it up because she was pregnant with a fatherless child.x

it all seems a bit far fetched to be honest.

why woould Hope isabella call herself Ella?

if 'Ella' was unmarried, she was born a Macdonald, surely?

Suzanne

Suzanne Report 25 Apr 2009 22:00

ricochet,isabellas maiden name was mcdonald when she had my grandfather,no fathers name was on the birth cert.my granfather took his mothers maiden name as she wasnt married,thank you very much for looking.x

So we are all completely up a gum tree -

looking at an Isabella Silcock when you want Ella Macdonald!

I think you are completely on the wrong tract, and letting assumption cloud your view.

DONT!!!

Suzanne

Suzanne Report 25 Apr 2009 22:05

minnie,ella is short for isabella,maybe she didnt like the name hope?but the lady that found the original one for me on find my past said her name was ISABELLA HOPE MCDONALD and not the other way round,maybe someone has made a mistake with the names?any way in very excited about this,i cant thank you enough.x

Penny Report 25 Apr 2009 22:06

No, its all wrong, wrong wrong -

Question

Do you hav your grandfather birth cert?

Penny

Penny Report 25 Apr 2009 22:09

Ricochet, do you think tha fact are being 'squeezed ' to fit?

its not the right family, is it?

the isabella Macdonald in w derby in 1911 is aged 46!

Suzanne

Suzanne Report 25 Apr 2009 22:09

minnie,all your info on page one looks correct and falls into place,you looked for isabella mcdonald and found her,thank you...ricochet is looking in the wrong place,but in grateful to both of you for looking.x
