Find Ancestors

Thank you Jan and Choccy.....hopefully, it is the quiet searching which will bring results.


I will try and consult the Oracle on the census issues as she can usually see things at a glance whereas I go a bit cross-eyed! I know she has a hurricane aged 3 staying with her at the moment, so she may be a bit....er.......shattered :-D :-D


I have emailed my friendly contact at Wandsworth to see about the Electoral roll for that address 1926-29 and have also given her the address where Diane's husband lived - just in case they were together..... :-)

Thanks Choccy.........Fans is being ominously quiet.....must be suffering
from Hurricane Syndrome...... :-D


My kind archivist tells me that the Longley Road address was occupied by a couple by the name of Martin and Harriet Rutter during the years 1926-30. The address where our Evelyn's future grandparents lived was inhabited by Harry and May Robinson and Herbert and Emily Roy. No single women around. :-(

Hi Cynthia
Did you ask about 22 Terrapin Road? (re P M Macleod who is in the 'phone books at that address 1927-1929). It's not too far from Dafforne Road.
Thanks
Julie

Ooooh no Jooleh.....sorry about that. Will do it now!



Fans was apparently up at 3am this morning so I think we have to give her a day to recover..........age and all that.

I just need her to cast her eye over the census to see if anything rings any bells......... ding ding. :-D

hello
i do not want to put a damper on things but i wonder if diane new who her parents were was she a foundling and the godards took her in <3

sally w

Hello Sally. All things are possible in this search :-D


We have wondered if the Goddard-Fenwicks took her in but are trying to establish if there was a connection somewhere. Maybe a link with Diane's stories of Stornoway.........?


We search on.


I am waiting for a reply from the Dorset Archives re the newspaper cutting Evelyn mentioned and I have bought the two magazines we talked about. It looks as thought the PF doesn't have a 'looking for column' anymore so I may just write a letter to them instead to see if they will publish it.

The Ys magazine can take up to three months to publish a request and they are done on a rather hit and miss basis it seems. No harm in trying though :-D

Has anybody looked at Agnes Annie Leslie who died in Wandsworth 1914.
She was born in Scotland abt 1857 so is too old to have been Dianes mother, but think there may be a family link .
From 1881 Agnes was working for a family named White who lived at 86 Marine Parade Brighton. Abigail White was born in South Africa. as were her two nieces,Jessie & Linda who were living with her.
I think Agnes was born in Stornoway & her parents were George Leslie & Margaret (possibly nee Toye although her mother has been transcribed as Gow)
George Leslie´s mother was Susan, born England & if I have the right family, they were living on Stornoway in 1841 & 51.
Thought I would put this up as not much Leslie info has been researched.
The connections with Stornoway,Brighton & Wandsworth were interesting.
Haven´t found Agnes in 1911 as I haven´t got full access.

Not that I know of wisechild.......anyone who is good at census up for it please?



I have received the following from the Hebridean Archives....

*****
I've checked with the Nicolson and sadly the admission registers for the primary department have not survived. They checked the secondary admissions based upon the information we were able to give, including that there was a question mark over her name, but similarly had no luck. I have also checked with Stornoway, Laxdale and Sandwickhill schools but none have surviving admission registers for that period.

*****


and, I have also received this info from my friendly Archivist in Wandsworth....

*****
Thank you for your email. I've checked the Terrapin Road address for you from 1926-1929 (the 1927 register for Balham and Tooting is sadly missing). Diane was not listed at the address but some MacLeods were. Their names were Patrick Macfarlane MacLeod and Nora Douthwitt Maude MacLeod.

****

It may help if you kind folk could say on here what you are willing to search for in order to save others doubling up on efforts. :-D

Just to add Cynthia.
George Leslie married Margaret Dow 24.11.1851 St Bartholemew the Great London.
Can´t find birth reg for Agnes.
Think George may have been marriesd previously because in 1871 Margaret is a widow & there are 2 much older children, George 18 & Frances 16 plus Agnes 14, Margaret 12, Halton 10,Jane 5 & Thomas 3 & Margaret´s mother Agnes Dow.
Sorry I can´t do more. Am a bit restricted because I don´t have broadband, so everything takes forever to download. otherwise I´d be happy to follow it up.
Marion

Message from the Oracle!!!

She is wading through some family probs at the mo but is keeping an eye on things here. Her suggestion is that we explore more of the 'Leslie' route.

There you are wisechild.......go for the Leslie's as and when you can :-D

Following up on Wisechilds - Agnes Annie Leslie I had a look at the 1911 but failed in finding her.

She is no longer in the White household at 86 Marine Parade Brighton

There is a death for An Agnes Leslie aged 54 Brighton Sept Q 1911.

On the 1891 she is Agnes F Leslie at 86 marine parade Brighton and her
birthplace is transcribed as Keeth Scotland, this maybe Keith I am not so good on Scottish place names the F looks good in the original.
