Find Ancestors

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


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

Duncan??????

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

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

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

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 XX

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

according to a Private Family Tree

You're too quick for me Jan! So, another nurse, like the sisters who became nuns.

She was there all the time -don't know how I missed her!

Shame about the will. I just remembered that I never found Evelyn's sister Christophine in 1911 so that might be worth pursuing if anyone else wants to try!
Her full name was Christophine Fanny Georgina Goddard or Goddard Fenwick born Leamington, Warwick 1869
(The other other sisters Louisa and Gwendolen were nuns in 1911)
Julie

Perhaps the descendants of the cousin might know something - we are desperate for information, after all! Did the information on the siblings give us anything that we didn't already know, like addresses etc?

Hi Annie......his name was Marcus Stapleton-Martin of Norton Worcestershire. I googled him earlier and there are some items on there about him. Evelyn GF left him .....the picture of the Heiress of Rishworth (an ancestor of ours). As I said, it's a pity we aren't researching that family.....so much to go on!






:-)

Oh how disappointing about the Will. Who was the cousin?

Such kind people indeed! Lovely, lovely, people all trying to help. <3



Thank you for that Quoy - I thought the name Lemmens rang a bell and it does! We came across that entry earlier and I found that Gerard Lemmens was a member on here. I sent him a message in September but it remains unopened. Another brickwall....sigh.



Anyway......

I have at least received the Will of Evelyn Goddard Fenwick. Nothing in it about Diane at all. Her effects are left to her siblings and a cousin.

It seems she was a violin teacher for many years at the City of London School for Girls. I am going to contact the school in the vain hope that they may have either some more info on EGF or a pupil by the name of DLM. One can but try.

Evelyn does know about this as I told her before I posted on here.

Sorry Evelyn......another disappointment for you. It's a pity you aren't related to the GF's.....quite an interesting family to research.



Next............................?

and Donald Stanley


From Ancestry message boards

Anyone who may have known my step-grandfather, my aunt would appreciate information. She says, "My Dad's name was Donald Stanley McLeod. He died, we think, in 32. He would have been born in the late l890s, as he was only in his 30s. He died in Ramsey Co. Hosp. (Minnesota) He was a licensed chauffer a Shriner. He came from Scotland as a boy , first to Canada later
to the states." He was part of the family for only a short time, but his daughter and her family would like to find more of their family. If you can help, please reply. Thanks.

and a reply

We have a Donald Stamley Macleod on my wife's family tree :

Donald Stanley Macleod , born 1890 Tarbat Manse , Parish of Rockfield, Rosshire

His brother Murdo John Macleod emigrated to South Australia and we just received his descendants !
