Find Ancestors

I sent for the MC without a middle initial Julie...So hopefully will recieve correct one...And did check ref numbers o image as well...

Bed for me..Night all~~~~~~~

Have sent a message re the Female Industrial school to a contact at Highland Archives.


Another little flurry of activity! :-D

FreeBMD have him as James R! That's what it looks like on the image- Ancestry seem to have taken the name above his which is James E

E/W Marriage 1 Despatch date=04 Oct 2011

Sent for

Back to NI numbers....Cant remember who brought it up but....Anyone know how to find out where one was issued and how to find out what Dianes number was and lots of other questions...But basically how to find when and where it was first issued and how to find out what her number was..

Would Springfield hosp still have it on file I wonder?
Although they did tell me all they had on her was her name and the dates she worked there..
But I have not actually seen her file..They wouldnt let me..But I can try again now with the letter I have from Evelyn giving me permission to access anything to do with her mother...Now where have I put that...Eeeeeeeeek...

Jansmith....
That marriage does not register in my brain and nor does the cert reside in Evs file...It will within the week to rule it out if nothing else...
Sending for it in a short while.

Kathy
Good thinking..Thats a new one that has not been looked at and well done Quoy for getting a link to that school...

I have not been knocking down walls today..Its rebuilding now and I tell e that I is getting too old for much more of that malarky even with help .
After shed is finished then we start on putting up a conservatory that was going cheep cheep....Not a huge one but perfect for us... I can even move my puter and stuff in if I want and look out over the garden as well as the fields then..... :-D

Trouble is now that I dont have much time to follow some of this up but you lot are doing stirling work on behalf of Evelyn....

Off to send for that MC...

So maybe you lot can say who is going to do what so I or Cyn dont end up doing things that you are doing...

I did search SP and English 1911 again and have now looked at all possibilities for a Jean Macleod on SP and none are her...So it does look as though she may have gone abroad....But sooooooo many to look at between 1910 and 1914 on FMP that I have only been through 10 so far and none are her and if they are they do not give an occupation..
Will carry on going through them when I have more time at the weekend..

Nope I wont as son and grandson (Master Hurricane)are coming friday to monday..So next week it will be..

I can see I will have to go and give that FBG a good waking up soon!

Quoy, I checked that link re the poor school and saw that it was written by W. Foulgar. This is Willie Foulgar who has been very helpful in searching school records for us. Nice guy.



Wisechild......we have gone back quite a way with the Fenwick/Goddard combine thanks. It's a few pages back and, from what I remember, I don't think any of the FG girls married.


Off to see if FBG recalls that marriage..........wish me luck - she's probably knocking a wall down somewhere!!

Hi all.
before I wear my very inefficient typing finger to a stub, do we already know the antecedents of Evelyn Fenwick-Goddard.
Have tracked her mother´s family back to 1841 if it´s not already known.
Have to go out shortly but will be back tomorrow.
Incidentally, Evelyn never married. She was always Goddard-Fenwick for some reason.

Quoy coincidence or what??
I find that my beloved Grandad Roy (dads father) was born St Georges, Hanover Square, same place as your Macnab lady. Very small world.

I have no idea of the address for Ians birth, only know he was born in London 1930

Bugger the housework it will still be there tomorrow

You have a rest

Last evening we had an island wide power cut and the internet was down for most of the evening, looks like I have a lot of reading to do.
Had rather a stressful night with Ron, his breathing is very bad at the moment, he is sleeping peacefully at the moment so must get some housework done while I have the chance.
Thank you everyone for all your help
Love to all
Evelyn X <3

Good heaven's what time do you lot get up at all? :-D

I'm actually at my voluntary job but it's quiet at the mo so thought I would check in.

I really like the look of that marriage Quoy. I know we checked out a MacLeod/Fenwick marriage, (link on precis) but can't remember this one.

No hope of Fans at the moment........twill be midday before she surfaces!


We will return!

Good morning Jansmith

I am sure Jean Macleod has only just been looked at

everything crossed lets hope it is her

Quoy, hope it might help BUT i am sure someone will say it has already been looked at!!

There was a Female Industrial school in Stornoway .I do not know when it closed down but there is a picture of it in 1905

The Female Industrial School on Stornoway's Keith Street was opened to wide acclaim in 1849. Built the previous year by Sir James and Lady Matheson, the school was dedicated to the education of the poor and was to provide a place of learning for the island's young girls.

Jansmith
have you just found a EUREKA moment

could this be the connection to Goddard Fennwick


Wake up FBG and Cynthia and have a look at this

Just a thought

Any one got access to Mitchell Library Glasgow as they have poor relief records on line .

Diane may have been orphaned /abandoned and placed with a family in Stornaway and who knows what they might have told her re her parents

Kathy
