Find Ancestors

Choccy

Oh I see --- so they are diff indices -- which explains the diff

Can you find her in 1911 --- or Robert Mcleod

I secretly wondered if this was Diane

I know year wrong- name wrong - place wrong - but

has anyone looked on the 1911 census (Scotland) ?

assume they have ?

Hi Choccy,

If you look at page 46, I have given a brief synopsis of what has/hasn't been done. The 1911 Scottish census is mentioned on page 41.


Diane gave the name Leslie as a name for one of her sons and it looks pretty certain that it had some special significance to her....but what?


I wondered about her being Diane too Renes.


I wonder if she may have been illegitimate, was brought up by the MacLeod's and given their name.


Thanks both - see....that Fan's ain't up yet......sheeeeesh.

sorry Cynthia - haven't looked at this thread before and haven't taken it all in yet and missed the reference to 1911 census - kinda gets you hooked doesn't it!

If she was sent to Aunt Kates and went to school in Stornaway, you would think she would be on the 1911 census somewhere. Unfortunately can't afford to trawl the census hoping her name will pop up!

Assume no-one really knows where she was born ...

I am prepared to fund the birth cert for Ida C C McLeod

coz ---

Robert McLeod was in Egypt when Ida was born

He was in the Seaforth Highlanders (Ross-Shire Buffs The Duke Of Albany's) - 72nd & 78th Foot --

·3 things Evelyn says on her opening post

1, Name of “Father• given --same --- except for one "C" being dropped --

2) Regiment same

3) And he lived in Stornoway

add to it

4) Robert McLeod has a sister Issabella M Leod

5) Born Egypt ----- changes to India --- but Oseas


perhaps Fans has already checked her out !!

Over time since 1911 Scot came out it has been searched many many times and many viewed...Over 300 credits worth and nothing found at all including looking for Jean Annabelle 1888 of Tarbat...

Here is that birth from SP as it is on service returns there ..Being Scots of course..:P

1901 MCLEOD IDA COLINA CAMP F SERVICE RETURNS / 048/AF 0181

The Standard (London, England), Thursday, April 24, 1884;

Borthwick Macleod
Apr 22nd St Stephens Parish Church Edinborough by the Rev Norman Macleod DD
Alex Hay Borthwick, Hopsrig,Langholm NB to
Elsie 4th daughter of Alex Macleod Leslie Aberdeenshire

People have been really helpful today - thanks everyone.


Glad Fans made it back as she is the backbone of this search.


Yes Choccy, it certainly gets one hooked!


Evelyn, we are thinking of you and doing our best......take care. <3

LK, I remember looking at that link before and yes, it's definitely part of the G-F family. Not sure where it leads though.


If anyone has a Scottish hunch and would like to check some records, I have a few Scotlands People credits left which I am willing to offer. Pm me for details. :-D

If I get some spare time today, I think I will wander amongst the G-F's to try and get a clearer picture of them and maybe establish a firmer link to Diane.

All ideas welcome. Gather round.


Maybe I should commandeer my dining room table for the task :-D


Then we can submit any findings to FBG ;-)

hello
i finished readi ng through thread last night and do not have any searching skills

it struck me that grandmother could be amung the fenwicks as diane told so many fibs

( a ) she did not have a scotts acent

( b )she has not been found on any records in scotland

( c ) evelyn was named after her god mother

( d )she had a private income was it paid to diane mum may be a servat to keep her from spilling the beens (it did hapen) and the grangmother died it passed on to diane and the family kept an eye on her

( e ) the fathers name was made up to put everybody off the scent

i am sorry this this ia no help but it is just how i see it

Like Sally. I haven´t had any input in this before, but without wishing to rush in where I know nothing, has anybody found a will for Evelyn Fenwick Goddard. If Diane´s income was coming from her, Diane might be named in the will.
Personally....& it´s just a feeling....I don´t think Diane was her real name.

Thanks for your input both of you. Welcome aboard!

It's quite a story isn't it ?

I too think the Fenwicks are involved somewhere but FBG isn't so sure. There has been a thought about Evelyn FG's Will and it's possible it may be sent for.

It's look pretty definite that Diane wasn't her real name....but what was.....? sigh....

I have been mapping out the Goddard/Fenwicks and they are a very nomadic bunch..........Canada, Jersey, London, Warwickshire, Devon....you name - they lived there! Just hoping to spot something which will give a glimmer of light........


We press on....... :-D

Oh mother why couldnt you tell the truth.
Who the heck were you and WHAT was your real name??????
Thank you everyone for your help, I am very grateful to you
