Find Ancestors

I am getting more & more confused by the min - i thought I was up to date with this but i join FBG - total confusion again - think i am going round in circles

Have we moved down to London or still in the Highlands & Islands

Looking for Nun's or children - i need to sit down quietly & re-read the last 10 pages or so

Anyone know if you can get lists of people who have changed their name by deedpol. It may be another area to look at.

Now I have confusseed meself...Not hard to do I know really.. :-P

So that other Christina Macleod(Graham )is who exactly with the correct parents of Margaret(Peggie)and Alexander?....Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

And Alex is now a Crofter and not a Fisherman...But kids are correct as is Mother Ann/ie

Thank you everyone for working so hard on my behalf, sadly at the moment my life has been taken over by the big C, Ron my husband needs my support and all my time seems to be taken up with this. We have a wonderful Oncology unit here on the island and we are very grateful for that.
The treatment Ron is receiving is second to none but we do know that there is no cure for him just buying some time.
Heartfelt thanks to you all your help means a lot to me
Love to you all

Johanna "McLeods" birth cert says that Alexander McLeod (fisherman)and Christina Graham were married in Back Stornoway on January 1st 1896.

Marriage cert says.
Alexander Macleods parents
Donald Macleod ..(crofter deceased)
Anne (nee Macinnon??)

Christinas parents

Alexander? Graham...Crofter
Margaret MaCrea?

Not another nun!!!!

A couple of the Goddard-Fenwicks became nuns!


I remember the name Bellerive from when I lived in Liverpool.

This thread is making the world a smaller place!

from the Macleod website

17 Apr 1996 – Annie Di Minima (Minnie), born 2nd November 1871 at Nottingham, became a Roman Catholic nun (Mother Winifred) in 1894. .
She died at Bellerive Convent F.C.J. Princes Park, Liverpool, on 18th January 1961, aged 89 years.

Diminima? Where DO people get these names from?


I know what you mean LK - everywhichway we turn, there seems to be a tenuous link but nothing concrete - as yet!


Oh for a breakthrough so that we can see light at the end of this very long tunnel.......sigh..... :-S

Also found it interesting on FreeBMD to search Macleod and Wandsworth all types. A few interesting names right around the entry for Diane's marriage.
