Find Ancestors

I have never heard of thos Macleods but I cant rule them out, thank you for your interest

Ancestry incoming passenger list
Unfortunately, no christian names.

30 Apr 1919 Bombay to Plymouth
Mrs J Macleod aged 38 & 4 children
(Must have all been under 12 as that is the age when their individual details are shown) Diane would have been about 10.
If her father had died the army would have paid the family´s fares back to England & Mrs J would almost certainly have recieved a pension for herself & the children. Could that have been the source of the private income?

Good afternoon each and everyone... :-D


I am trawling back through the pages and have so far found that the boat carrying Mrs MacLeod and 4 children was spotted a couple of years ago and FBG looked it up further. Nothing ever came of that at the time.

The names Murdo and Alexander MacLeod have appeared but I am still checking through to see if these are possibilities.

I don't recall seeing the Robert MacLeod Australia/India passenger list so will get FBG to call in.


Must feed the troops....back later......and thanks everyone. :-D

I did earlier today and I think I looked at it before....It does not say Robert Macleod on that incoming passenger list...It say Major Macleod so how do we know his name is Robert and how to find out if it is,or what Regiment that person was in as all it says is Military.....I am not poo pooing the idea it may be Dianes father,but how does one prove it?Beyond my little skill that one is...

And if he really was a Major in the Seaforths surely Diane would have trumpeted it loud and far?....Unless he was her"natural"father of course and then she would not have wanted to let anyone ask tooooo many searching questions would she?

And if a mother had been mentioned then again questions may have been asked.
Surely she must have told her husband "Evelyns dad"SOMETHING to explain where she came from...Prob did and then swore him to secrecy under pain of some thing or another...

I am of the opinion that she was Illegit...Not born Diane and have no clue as to her real name...


What I would really like is a complete list of all female children that attended schools in Stornoway from 1901 to about 1925....But where do you get that from without leaving Wales?

Edits
Just to add that I have tried for that list of schoolgirls a few times and got nowhere...

"What I would really like is a complete list of all female children that attended schools in Stornoway from 1901 to about 1925....But where do you get that from without leaving Wales?"


........................you don't want much do you Fans.....?????

Why would you want to go to 1925?


Do you know how many schools there are in Stornoway? I googled and found this list........don't know if they were all there 1901-25 though.

It seems as though the Nicholson is likely to be the most likely choice but, there is no record of a Diane Leslie MacLeod.......I checked that out earlier this year....Maybe I should get back to the nice man I was in contact with.??

I only want females of the surname Leslie or Macleod to find each and everyone on census or SP if poss to discount them...Thats why...

1925?
Why not?

If born in C 1906 she may have stayed on at school or been born a bit later? :-P

Make it 1920 if you like...

Did anyone send off about that Diane Unknown?

On it now bossman.

WOMAN..I is a WOMAN...!

I stand corrected.


And fall about laughing!


Mission accomplished O Great One.









:-D

Pat ,Pat,Polish ,Polish....

You will wear that Halo out one of these days Mrs.... ;-)

sorry i didn't get back to thread about looking into site with Dianne unknown ,has this now been followed up and message sent to site?

Hi Jan, yes I did it last night on Bosswoman's instructions........ ;-)

(You what she can be like at times.......)




:-D

Thanks fingers crossed then Cynthia that they might be able to help!
(and then Bosswoman will be pleased with you)

That'll be the day Jan!!!


Naturally, I will post as soon as anything crops up.....meanwhile...please don't give up.......please keep thinking and searching.........

Come on Mother give us a clue

No further updates then Cynthia or FBG?

I thought the net was closing in - i wish i could add somethign useful instead of just a quick nudge up the boards

There is a section on the WDYTYA magazine which says let us help you find you long lost relatives - is it worth giving it a go on there - I am happy to add it in for you on my login if you want - but not without your permission first.

Might be worth trying the Davina show for a long lost relative - even though she is no longer around it would make a good show

Still trying to find the Goddard Fenwick connection. This looks like Louisa going by her second name in 1911. She's with a bunch of other women but what is the institution anyone?

Institution FENWICK, Catherine Goddard 1883 28  F Paddington London
Thanks

Julie

Hopefully someone with access will be able to tell us Julie.

No further updates at the moment. No response to either of the emails I sent last week. Could be due to summer season/holidays I suppose...sigh.

Will be right back here as and when.....


Thanks all.
