Hi Jan, thanks for the good idea.


I have had a look and found that Evelyn G-F lived in Foulser Road during the 20's and moved to Dafforne Rd. in the 30's. I had hope she may have had a lodger........ :-D :-D Nope. Her sister lived with her for a while and then seemed to move to Dafforne before Evelyn did.


I now need to back track and remind myself of some of the names on here!




Must get in touch with Evelyn too to see how things are going.........


Thanks again. Cx.

I had a really good look around the electoral registers when they first came online hoping I would find Diane pre marriage in 1927/28 but no such luck! What I did find was Patrick Macleod and Norah living in Foulser Rd at the same time as the Goddard Fenwicks. They lived exactly opposite them! Been a bit sidetracked by family stuff recently but will try and come back tomorrow to put this in context.

Love to Evelyn x

Julie

Edit: Diane was working at Springfield Hospital June 1927 to June 1928 so why can't I find her on the electoral register?

The area she lived in hasn't been transcribed yet?
Her name has been mistranscribed?
She registered under a different name?
She chose not to register?
She wasn't yet 21(so not born 1906 but later)?

Could be any of the above Julie!!!


We can rule out Springfield Hospital - that's been ruled out, as has Dafforne Road and another that I can't think of.


I think it's either going to be she registered under a different name or she chose not to register. :-S :-S

Anyone else noticed this on Living Relatives??
Looking for Isobel Leslie
Poss. born around 1905 Banff Scotland.
Came in from Canada 28.10. 1933
On ER Wandsworth 1936 & poss 1956.
Believed to have worked at Swandean Hospital, Worthing & Hendon Isolation Hospital around 1945/6.
Sorry, haven´t time to check it out myself.
Perhaps someone could have a look.
Am thinking she could be a relative ?aunt of Diane.

Looks promising Jan.
Unfortunately I don´t have access to Scotland 1911.
Will take a quick look for Helen in 1901.

I had seen that wisechild and, like you, it raised a query ...... then a senior moment kicked in and I was sidetracked.


Will contact the oracle and go find that thread again.


Thanks..... :-D

Don´t think it was Isobel Leslie b 1905.
There are a couple of trees on Ancestry showing that she died in Canada. :-| :-| :-| :-|

Hello Everyone, just to let you know that I am still in the land of the living.
I have serious doubts that we are ever going to trace the dratted Diane.You have all been so helpful to me and I appreciate all your help. I just wish I could think of something to point us in the right direction.
Much love to you all
