Find Ancestors

any more thought on if it could be a good idea to start a new post asking just for look up of hospital records at LMA for Diane ? (idea i posted at bottom of page 62)

I spent a couple of hours yesterday reading the post from beginning to end & I can see that the same questions have been asked several times & the same possible links have been found.
It´s wonderful that so many people are getting involved, but the fact is that the thread is now so big that no one really knows what´s been done & what hasn´t.
Cynthia´s precis has helped a lot, but I think things are getting very muddled.
Please will someone hurry up & find Diane.

Hi Jan, it may be a good idea but, somewhere on here I think Fans says something about there not being anything else to find about Diane's nursing career.

I will jog her memory - that could be hard going though - it's failing due to age!!


Wisechild -yes, this thread IS getting rather big - I'll try and keep the precis up to date and ask people to read through it first- if they would be so kind of course! :-D

Come on Diane enough is enough where are you, please show yourself and solve this mystery for us all.

I spent some time yesteray looking for a Robert of Seaforth Highlanders but didn't get anywhere!

A couple of ideas

Could the records of the school in Stornaway be searched again, looking for any girls born in June 1906(or even a couple of years either side of 1906, just in case!)

Did Diane die in hospital, or, if not, was she a patient in a particular hospital?
Could a date of birth be obtained from those records? Her records, if any, will probably be closed, but perhaps permission could be granted just to be given her date of birth.

Mother died at home, she had had treatment at Weymouth and district Hospital, it no longer exists.

Thanks Evelyn. There are records for the hospital but patient records only go up to 1936 and admissions and discharges up to 1948, which is presumably too early.

Mother died July 1952

I have checked for those 1901 people on 1911 Kathy.
I can only find the Mackenzie lot and they have no "extras"in the house...

I can not find the Macaulay family nor Stuart family on Stornoway...

Fans.........dearest..........




Can you remember if there was any more info to be had re Diane working at Springfield Hosp. See Jan's comments above.......

All that was on it was her name and the dates she worked there they said...

I can try to get the actual file if you like(when I find Evs letter of permission)But they were insistent that that was all it said.....And trust me they would have told me ALL that was on it after the sob story they got from me plus the constant phone calls..:)
Someone did spend some time at Kew (sorry,cant remember who)going through SRN records and other stuff but there are LOADS of books it would seem and they ran out of steam...

But it is most likely that she was just a carer or Auxillary nurse I would think...

FBG

Think it was me who looked at Kew re Nurses records.

What do you think about my suggestion above re the school? If we could get names/dob/addresses/next of kin of all girls born June 1904-1908 say, perhaps we can pin her down!

Chris :)

Good morning all. Thanks for all the above. I have a feeling Robert Lockhart has been investigated. I've been trying to find the page but am off to the dentist soon :-(



Wonder if it's worth Fans finding that authority from Evelyn and giving those records another shot.........??? If she was giving them a sob story, they probably couldn't understand a word she said ;-)



I am wondering how to put all the information we have gathered into a sensible order. I know that the precis helped but I feel it needs to be more precise!


I had wondered about separate threads eg. the Robert MacLeod search - the info we have on schools - the MacLeod family from Tarbat - etc. but I am not sure all the other members would appreciate so many thread appearing.


I will do my best to get a more precise version of the precis done......my week doesn't look TOO bad ......... famous last words!



Mind you, we are all in this together, so to speak. If anyone would like to take a 'subject' eg. Robert - schools - family etc., I am willing to share the load :-D :-D

It just means trawling through the thread and picking out the relevant bits and putting them altogether.


Any other ideas very welcome.


:-D

posting for info (in case hasn't been looked at before) - too many pages to search !
