has this link been looked at?

Evelyn.
Must be a trait of small women. My mother barely stretched to 5ft but she could spin a tale. In fact if it had been in the Olympics she would have won a gold medal every 4 years & believe it or not, her mother was the same (as I have since found out)
As for grains of truth LadyK I wouldn´t hold your breath. Never found any with my lot. Just enormous great porkies.But always worth a try.
Glad to hear that Ron is doing better. Keep shovelling all that lovely Channel Islands cream down him. That´ll put hairs on his chest.

Keep that nosin' going Chris........google can throw up some great stuff at times! :-D

(seems to be a bit more on Leslie Christie on above, and a couple of Trees on Ancestry, but not much on Nellie though!)

(nosin' on google again, lol)

Viv? A star? Must check the definition thereof...........rummages through dictionary....


Got it!


Definition: Star
Star. A huge ball of gas held together by gravity. The central core of a star is extremely hot and produces energy. Some of this energy is released as visible light, ...

That's our Viv.........she can gas for England; suffers from...er...getting hot spells......and can knock garages down. Very good at shining lights towards the end of dark tunnels....especially on a census :-D



It's all ready to post tomorrow Evelyn! <3

Evelyn
I am wondering if it could be useful to post some of her stories on here. Sometimes there is a grain of truth and we may just find the one to give us a clue. You could head each post Diane's stories.

Thank you Viv you are a star

I have been intrigued by the Diana Mcleod with father Leslie and mother Diana/Dina?
But at the moment am still to busy to spend time on much researxh
Back to getting some sort of normal life(for me. :-D)back at the end of next week I hope.
Roof goes on shed tomorrow plus other stuff
Then next week I hope ,really ,really hope that the conservatory will be put up.
But family visit starts in about an hour here if they have opened the M4 near Newport and traffic is clearing....Air ambulance was there at 5.30 pm and it was all shut...Havent heard or seen the news since that update by SallyTraffic on radio 2.

Byeeee..~~~~

PS...A cell block is cerainly what that Ishbel will get if she is not careful..

But just to let you all know I do try to look in every evening before bed... :-D ;-) ;-)

Thank you for sending for the will Cynthia, it may just throw some light on the problem

Perhaps Viv is buiding a cell block for naughty little Ishbel!!
Ron is having a walk around the garden so the exercise will be good for him, hope he doesnt spend the evening asleep in his chair, I would prefer him to sleep at night then I can get some rest as well.
Time to start cooking, I have been instructed that sir wants no more cream as he will be getting fat, he can dream, I have ways of disguising the cream, rice pudding is wonderful with added cream.and for sure there will be cream and butter in todays mash. ;-)

That's the problem here.....we can't be sure of anything Diane said.....sigh.


Interesting about the Leslie bit Kathy - thank you for that. Will see what Fans thinks when she's stopped building garages or whatever it is she is up to.

I think that the fact Diane was insistent about the name Leslie must be of some importance in our search.......but why?????/


Glad to know Ron is brighter today Evelyn....keep your chin up!

Am hoping to send off for that will of EGF this weekend.


<3 <3

Hi Marion,
Yes thank you Ron is a lot brighter today, he slept well last night and has been eating all his food today, so fingers crossed and lets hope it lasts.
For sure lies dont help do they some of the ones mother used to tell were quite pointless, I think she just used to like the sound of her own voice.
Small in stature she was but had a lot to say for herself and I feel sure she had a good education and seemed to know a lot about any subject that was brought up.

I agree Evelyn, but you can ask until you´re blue in the face & if they don´t tell the truth, you´re no better off.
Hope Ron´s feeling a bit brighter.
Marion

The only information I have re Mothers father is what she told me and what appears on her marriage cert, but she told so many fibs he could have been called anything.
My advice to youngsters today is ask your parents about their parents and grandparents and learn as much as you can before it is too late as in my case..

Can we be absolutely sure that Dianes father was called Robert MacLeod or could that be another figment of her imagination.
It seems odd that there is no trace of anyone of his description to be found anywhere even disregarding his job description
The only other possibility I can think of is that he is considerably older than we are assuming. She could have been the child of a second or even 3rd marriage.

That darned Diane is still hiding

Thanks for doing that Kathy. :-)

I didn't really think anything would come of it, but it interested me because I couldn't find a death or marriage for her. :-(

At least that's another one ruled out anyway!

Hi all

I had a look at that 1911 birth for Diana McLeod in Wick .She was born 19 dec .

Parents were John McLeod and Nellie Christie .

They married 1908 in Thurso 9th september .He was 24 a cooper she was 26 a domestic servant .His parents were John McLeod a mason His mother was Catherine McLeod ms McDonald

Her parents were LESLIE Christie a cooper and Dina Christie ms Hay

Red herring I think but unusual that her father has the christian name Leslie !!!!

Kathy

(does look like L, but think it should be Foulser, next road to Dafforne!)

Chris :)

I think the address she returned to then was 42 Loulser(?spelling hard to read) London SW 17
