Find Ancestors

Hi Wisechild, you're not interfering at all, any ideas, suggestions, thoughts, are gratefully received.


Diane's married name was Diane Leslie Roy - she married in 1929.

The first sighting we have of her under her maiden name of MacLeod is, I think, when she was a nurse at Springfield hospital 1927/28.

Before that, she is nowhere to be found.


Quoy....I like the idea....will see if Evelyn may put it on as her avatar.


Thanks again. Cx.

I would really like to see some pictures of Evelyn's mum.

I would so like to put a face to the woman we are seeking

Cynthia.
Have just had a pm from Evelyn & have confirmed to her that the number is her NHS ID. I can remember my original one & the format is the same.
have suggested getting in touch with the Dept of Health to see if they can shed any light.
What was Diane´s married name & does Evelyn have any siblings who would have been born after 1948. If so, the hospital where they were born may still have records.
Grasping at straws here.
(Or even the place where Diane died)
As I explained to Evelyn I only dip in & out of this occasionally, unlike all the dedicated researchers, so I feel a bit as though I´m interfering.

Evelyn is very happy to go ahead with this and I have the relevant ration book number. However, when I look at the site you mentioned Jan, it costs £42 to obtain details.

As Evelyn's mother was married back in 1929, I guess she would have been using her married name for everything after then.... :( It's really anything pre 1929 which would give a bigger clue.........any ideas???

Good point.......will contact Evelyn in case she isn't looking in today ..Thanks. :-D

Your post set me thinking Jan.
She would have had a National Health number too, issued when the welfare state started in 1948.
It may be worth trying to tace that.

I wondered about National Insurance number but googling it i don't think it would help . Evelyn says she has Ration book number so someone might like to look at this to see if it's worth spending the money to get the info (if it will give any new info)

Come on Mother give us a clue

I have got my Oh on it now - as he is quite new to the chaing people side of things on line - he seemd to find things I can't - probably because I try too hard -


She must be out there somewhere - you don't have any details of friends she had and if they are still around to be able to share any stories - it may help

That damned Diane is still missing.
Ah would that tracing ancestors was as easy as WDYTYA makes it look!!

Well here we are another day goes by and mother is still well hidden, I think she should have written detective novels, her life would have been a good plot for one.It would be wonderful to find out her real name as it would appear she was not Diane Leslie Macleod or if she was one of you lovely people would have traced her by now, anyway thank you for all your help.
Love to you all
Evelyn XX <3 <3

:-P :-P :-P

Why, thank you dear FBG - you spoil me, really you do. :-D

Good news Evelyn,

Thinking of you both !!

Dea Xxx <3

That's very good news Evelyn......we're still thinking of you both. <3



Tabitha, can you put the link for that site on here please? I've had a look but am not sure I have found the same thing. Thanks.

Great News Evelyn
A big tight hug and squeeze for you and Ron

Hello Everyone,
Just to let all you lovely people know that Ron had more chemo today and also saw his Oncologist, good news, the chemo is managing to shrink the tumours so that is buying more time. There is no cure we know that but at least we have a reprieve so we are a lot happier today, who knows what tomorrow will bring but we have to live one day at a time.
What we need now is for Diane to suddenly appear.
Once more thank you all for your interest and help I really do appreciate it
Love to you all
Evelyn XX

Is a Deed Poll registered anywhere?

Contrary to popular belief, there is no central register of name changes in the United Kingdom. Deed Polls are not registered anywhere unless they are "enrolled" i.e. lodged for safe keeping, in the Close Rolls of the Chancery (from 1851 to 1902) and from 1903, in the Enrolment Books of the Supreme Court of Judicature, which is located within the Royal Courts of Justice in the Strand, London. After about five years, the court's enrolled Deed Poll records are transferred to the National Archives, which is situated in Kew, Surrey. The National Archives contain Deed Poll records going back to 1851.

Enrolling a Deed Poll provides a public record of a person's name change and since 1914 the details of the name change are advertised in either the London or Belfast Gazette [What is the London Gazette - opens pop-up window]. Alarmingly, the person's name change details and home address are also published on the London Gazette's website for all to see. Fortunately, it is not a requirement to enrol a Deed Poll. Furthermore, because enrolling significantly adds to the cost and the time taken to change a person's name and because most people who change their name only wish to inform those who have a reason to know, only about 250 enrolled Deed Polls are issued annually. We, on the other hand, issue over 50,000 "unenrolled" Deed Polls annually and our records are confidential and not available for public inspection.

One other reason enrolled Deed Polls are not popular is the requirement for separated women to have their husband's written consent to revert to their maiden name. Also, the witness to the signing of an enrolled Deed Poll needs to be a property owner who has known the person changing their name for at least ten years. This needs to be confirmed by the witness swearing a Statutory Declaration before a solicitor or Commissioner for Oaths. Whereas the Deed Polls we issue simply need to be witnessed by someone independent such as a friend, neighbour or work colleague.

Deed Poll trivia
We issue annually more Deed Polls than have been lodged at the National Archives since 1851.

Any bets she didn't change her name by Deed Pol :-P
