Thanks all. We're pretty up to date on the Fenwick Goddard scenario - in fact, I drew a rough family tree out for myself a couple of months ago - just to try and keep track of them. As I said before...a very interesting family to research but we can't link them as being related to Diane as yet.

It may well be that Diane and her husband were just lodgers in Evelyn FGs house. I just have a niggling feeling that there is more to it than that though! If you know what I mean.

I will email the school where EFG taught later today. Must get showered and dressed.........such laziness..... :-D

Hello Everyone,
feeling giddy with all the action on here at the moment, thank you all for your interest and input, please dont hold back just express your thoughts I will not be offended, I know Diane told many porkies so anything is possible and I am delighted to hear your ideas.
Life for me at the moment is very difficult with Ron being so ill, so please dont think that I have lost interest in the thread just that medical activities have taken over my life and I am feeling rather knackered as well as very sad, I keep telling myself that life must go on but am finding it hard to believe myself.
Much love to you all

Evelyn - don't lose heart - we are all here trying to give moral support - even if it is virtual only from this distance.

I think you should write a novel - once we find her it will make great reading.

i will see if i can find anything at Dover Castle - may just be a red herring

Take care - <3 <3

So Christophine GF was a nurse.
Diane was a nurse too for a time.
Any connection to be found there??

My contact on FB tells me that it was very common for girls from the Island to go to London to become nurses. The names Ishbel and Duncan are incredibly common. I am hoping to hear back from her soon - I recommended that she reads this thread to see where we are up to.


Evelyn...........take heart and keep your chin up.... <3 <3 <3

Duncan??????

Tssssk.....I meant Donald of course! I too am giddy with this thread....


Diane has that effect on one! :-D :-D

That just about weighs Diane up Cynthia

Evelyn.... :-D :-D :-D


Here is something else for us to work on.....

Evelyn remembers her mother reading something in the Dorset Echo in the late 1940's - early 50's. It was an item about a lady who had died aged 102 in the far north of Scotland. It may well be connected to Aunt Kate.....maybe Catherine but she doesn't think the surname was MacLeod......is this worth a shot?


I have emailed the Dorset Archives to see where their old newspapers are kept. Do any of you live around that area?


Fans had a quick look on SP I think - there seem to be several Catherines who died at that age in various places in Scotland........so another needle in a haystack situation, unless, of course................................................. ;-)

Sorry Annie....just realised I haven't replied to your query re EFG's siblings. No addresses were given apart from her cousin. I'll list the beneficiaries later. The paper is upstairs................

1943 FISKEN CATHERINE MCNICOL F 102 LUSS /DUNBARTON 499/00 0002
2 1942 HAY CATHERINE THOMS LINDSAY F 102 NEWINGTON EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/06 0746
3 1942 LINDSAY CATHERINE THOMS HAY F 102 NEWINGTON EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/06 0746
4 1944 MATHESON CATHERINE ROBERTSON F 102 STRATH /INVERNESS 119/00 0003
5 1929 MCEACHERN CATHERINE F 102 KILMENY (ARGYLL) /ARGYLL 543/00 0001
6 1943 MCNICOL CATHERINE FISKEN F 102 LUSS /DUNBARTON 499/00 0002
7 1944 ROBERTSON CATHERINE MATHESON F 102 STRATH /INVERNESS 119/00 0003


Those are the only ones coming up that could be her aged 102 at death...No Kate/Katherine/Kathleen or any other kind of name similar that I can find...Not even a few years either way.....There are a few Catherines slightly older and younger at death ,but these are the only exact ones.

I have made a rudimentary search of them all on 1901 census and looked at the Death cert of Catherine Matheson (nee Robertson)and searched her on 1911...No child of the age with her nor did she have children called Donald and Ishbel/Isabell on census at all...

Regarding the nursing connection.
Diane was assumed to be Scottish, but Christorphine wasn´t.
Is it possible they could have worked together?

Anything is possible in this story wisechild!!! :-D


However, there is a massive age difference between Christophine and Diane......Christophine was 40 in the 1911 whilst Diane (wherever she was at that time) would have been maybe 5 or 6. But........by the 1920's.......who knows??


Too many flippin' co-incidences every which way we turn....... :-S


Sorry Jan.....forgot to bring those papers down.....later....I promise

The memory has kicked in Jan......

I wonder if you could tell us more about your cousins.
Are they definitely blood relatives?
<3 <3

Donald and Ishbel were mothers cousins, I have never met them, I only know what she told us about them, I dont know about Ishbels age but I have always been under the impression that Donald was older than mother.
I have never met any of my mothers blood relatives.

29 replies Evelyn.?
It is not you but the site is playing up.
What I am wondering is do they have a family resemblance or could they be cousins because of politeness. I had people I called aunty when I was small.

Could she have been adopted and given another name(no records for that time are there!!) and this is why she cannot be found in births etc??
