Find Ancestors

Her origins yes,but her mums on her dads side was a long haul,and expensive in the end,what with her being illigit an all.

OH Noooooooooooooo
I just realised even Leeroy has some of your names in it.

I now go to lie down for a while.

BTW Janey.
I have just had contact from distant relatives in Canada through Ancestry,my mothers line on her Grandad Herbert Heads side,some of them were sent out in the early 1920s as home children.
I dont suppose you know them do you?

LOL

Ishbel and Barabel aside I bet you know your Mums origins, so you are one up on me.

Unfotunatley I do think so and its not one of my favoured names,but in the form of Barabel its better.

I had a right dingdong with mother on the name Ishbel.
She said it was a boys name and certainly wasnt scottish for isabelle,but came from the bible.
Then we realised she had misheard and thought I said ISHMAEL.

Thats that sorted then, all we need now is a Diane Macleod.
I think Barabel would probably be Barbara in English, do you?
Evelyn

Buggritts about Ishbel,but thanks for checking it Janey.

No the next one is Leroy,his dad is Denzil and grandad was Winston.
Scottish terrier this time ,see I even get flipping scottish dogs!

Ok the next girl can be Barabel,that will be a west highland white we have decided.

Him indoors will shoot me with all these strange names that he cant remember,I call him my little goldfish as his memory is so bad.
He still calls Ishbel ,Ishabel or meisha.
Evans knows what he will call a Barabel

Unfortunately, Viv, that's an outdated ER listing.

More unfortunately, this seems to be the reason.

Name: Ishbel Ormiston
Birth Date: 30 May 1941
Death Registration Month/Year: Sep 2004
Age at death (estimated): 63
Registration district: Chiltern
Inferred County: Buckinghamshire
Register number: L12D
District and Subdistrict: 327/1D
Entry number: 153


However, Douglas seems still to be on the ER, living with his son of the same name, so Evelyn can ask Whirley for that listing.

Is the next dog Barabel?go on I dare you!!
Those dates would be too late to be mums cousins but could well be children of the cousins, I was born 1932 so they would certainly be the right ageto be the cousins children
Evelyn

I think that the 1941 Ishbel had a sister called Barabel too born in 1934 stornoway also.
Now what are the odds of that coincidence.
I cant prove that they are sisters,but they must be related I would have thought.
Barabel is even less common than Ishbel.

Evelyn.
Please ask for an electoral roll look up from Jean or whirley.

Ishbel Ormiston,living with douglas ormiston.

I am pretty sure she was born 1941 in stornoway as Ishbel macleod
He was born 1938 in durham

Probably because I was in either scotland or India looking for some leads on someones ruddy mother.

Vivienne why didnt you answer the door when I called round for Bethany and Ishbel, I had to go walkies all on my own.

OH my G* I am now going out.
Ruddy Diane and India
SEE you all later.

Viv and Janey Indian connections? maybe they have Diane!!!

Diane Leslie Macleod,born 1906/08

If she really is a "Diane" and prob born in India and brought up mainly in that area of scotland.

Ruth she was Diane Leslie Macleod

Evelyn

Now how many Ishbel macleods can there be,I have found very few but how about this??

Name: Ishbel MacLeod marriage edited.


Please take notes on this as I shall be editing it out later.

Evelyn
I have a few friends who have family in Stornoway. What was your mothers maiden name? If you let me know I will ask my friends to ask their families if they know anything. Not all of their relations stay in stornoway now.
Ruth

Well let me know what you find! Google has never found me anything. The Hindu Kush is a mountain range, apparently where the Hashishin came from -- the fierce hashish-smoking cult from which we get the word "assassin".

In Canada, presumably elsewhere, it was a fraternal order of men who had fought in the Anglo-Indian wars who did good works, like the Masons only less successful, apparently. ;)


edit -- Viv -- sources!!!!

http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/modern/hindu_kush.html

That one has what we might call an axe to grind, methinks, and may not be quite the most impartial source in the world when it comes to inter-ethnic conflicts of the past! (That's not what the name refers to in my context, anyhoo.)

Hindu Kush means Hindu Slaughter
By Shrinandan Vyas


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the Encyclopedias and National Geographic agree that Hindu Kush region is a place of Hindu genocide (similar to Dakau and Auschwitz). All the references are given. Please feel free to verify them.

ABSTRACT

All Standard reference books agree that the name 'Hindu Kush' of the mountain range in Eastern Afganistan means 'Hindu Slaughter' or 'Hindu Killer'. History also reveals that until 1000 A.D. the area of Hindu Kush was a full part of Hindu cradle. More likely, the mountain range was deliberately named as 'Hindu Slaughter' by the Moslem conquerors, as a lesson to the future generations of Indians. However Indians in general, and Hindus in particular are completely oblivious to this tragic genocide. This article also looks into the reasons behind this ignorance.


Not a very nice thing then by all accounts.
