Yep, right family Vicci. Thank you for offering those SP credits.

If anyone does have any spare, it may be worthwhile sending a pm to FBG and asking what she is looking for next. Don't ask me, I'm like a chocolate fireguard at times! :-D


My Fenwick-G contact on FB is asking around his family to see if anyone knows anything. We can but hope. :-D


Continued thanks to everyone trying to help. If we ever get to the bottom of this puzzle, I think we should all meet up and have a party - at Evelyn's (never been to Jersey) :-D ;-) :-D ;-) <3

There is probably no connection here, but the name Godwin caught my eye on the incoming passenger lists.
April 1916 SS Arabia from Bombay.
Marie Godwin-Canning Actress aged 26 .b India
Leslie Ernest Godwin-Canning b abt 1907 India (presumably her son)
Unfortunately there is no other info.

Put it down to a senior moment, couple with over excitement.
Doesn´t do at my age.

Hello everyone,
This is the first time I have been able to get on line for several days, don't know if its me or Internet at fault, I have a lousy cold and cough, so am staying close to home.
Have just been reading the thread and you have all been so hard at work, thank you so much.

I wonder if the Goddard Fenwick contact has a photo of Evelyn? I have no idea what she looked like and would love to know. Cynthia I don't live in Jersey, I am in Guernsey, where they filmed Island Hospital, very pretty island, not a lot to do though but that suits me at 80 years of age.
Take care everyone and thank you once again
Love to all

Good to know you´re OK Evelyn even if your forebears are driving us all crazy.
I can´t help feeling that the answer is probably staring us in the face & when it becomes obvious, we will all be saying "of course, why didn´t I think of that". I just can´t believe that someone could be so obscure. Your MUm must have told some real porkies.......or like mine, she invented her own fantasy world with a few truths thrown in for good measure.
Keep smiling.

Just musing here on choice of words

1st posting

At quite a young age mother was sent to live with an Aunt Kate in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, sadly I do not know the surname of Aunt Kate but do know that in the same household were cousins Donald and Ishbel. Mother attended school in Stornoway


IN Stornoway
now does that mean she already lived on Lewis

Hello again,
I still feel grotty with this horrible cold.
Quoy I meant that while my mother lived in Stornoway she attended school there, as far as I remember she said she went from Fort George where she was living with her father to live in Stornoway with her Aunt Kate, I wish I could tell you more but I just don't know anything else
Love to all
Evelyn X

Maybe that indicates that her mother had already died if she said she was with her father at Fort George.
Wonder if she was sent to Stornoway when her father was sent off to fight at the start of WW1. That would have made her about 6 or 7.
Would have thought she would have said she was with her Parents rather than just her father.
Maybe her mother wasn´t Scottish & we are just assuming.

That gap looks like the space in my head which appears whenever Diane is mentioned :-D :-D :-D :-D


Hello Evelyn, sorry you're feeling grotty and hope you pick up again soon. Also sorry about the Jersey/Guernsey thing......tuts.......must do better ;-)


My contact on FB hasn't had any luck so far unfortunately. Someone in the family knew that Evelyn G-F had been a Godmother to somebody but didn't know anything about it. He is checking with an older cousin and getting back to me.




Will get FBG to check the other stuff.............'bout time she did summat!!



:-D :-D :-D :-D

Have I got this right?
Evelyn Goddard Fenwick was Diane´s godmother, not Evelyns.
If so, doesn´t that suggest that Diane was born in England, unless G-F was also in India?

Evelyn G F was my godmother, I was named after her XXX

Thanks Evelyn.
I know the info is on one of the posts, but didn´t have time to go through them all to find it.
Had you thought of turning the thread into a book?
