must say this has distracted me for quite a few hours


Ta muchly

Over time since 1911 Scot came out it has been searched many many times and many viewed...Over 300 credits worth and nothing found at all including looking for Jean Annabelle 1888 of Tarbat...

Here is that birth from SP as it is on service returns there ..Being Scots of course..:P

1901 MCLEOD IDA COLINA CAMP F SERVICE RETURNS / 048/AF 0181

Anyone want to know what it says????????????????????? :-D

And here is the entry for her on 1911 Scot

1911 MACLEOD IDA C F 10 GARNGADHILL GLASGOW CITY/LANARK 644/05 002/00 007

Suppose you wanna know what that says as well????But I aint looked meself yet so yer will all have to wait... :-P

Cyns

I am prepared to fund the birth cert for Ida C C McLeod

coz ---

Robert McLeod was in Egypt when Ida was born

He was in the Seaforth Highlanders (Ross-Shire Buffs The Duke Of Albany's) - 72nd & 78th Foot --

·3 things Evelyn says on her opening post

1, Name of “Father• given --same --- except for one "C" being dropped --

2) Regiment same

3) And he lived in Stornoway

add to it

4) Robert McLeod has a sister Issabella M Leod

5) Born Egypt ----- changes to India --- but Oseas


perhaps Fans has already checked her out !!

sorry Cynthia - haven't looked at this thread before and haven't taken it all in yet and missed the reference to 1911 census - kinda gets you hooked doesn't it!

If she was sent to Aunt Kates and went to school in Stornaway, you would think she would be on the 1911 census somewhere. Unfortunately can't afford to trawl the census hoping her name will pop up!

Assume no-one really knows where she was born ...

Hi Choccy,

If you look at page 46, I have given a brief synopsis of what has/hasn't been done. The 1911 Scottish census is mentioned on page 41.


Diane gave the name Leslie as a name for one of her sons and it looks pretty certain that it had some special significance to her....but what?


I wondered about her being Diane too Renes.


I wonder if she may have been illegitimate, was brought up by the MacLeod's and given their name.


Thanks both - see....that Fan's ain't up yet......sheeeeesh.

has anyone looked on the 1911 census (Scotland) ?

assume they have ?

Choccy

Oh I see --- so they are diff indices -- which explains the diff

Can you find her in 1911 --- or Robert Mcleod

I secretly wondered if this was Diane

I know year wrong- name wrong - place wrong - but

The fact that Diane was insistent about the 'Leslie' part of her name - could this possibly be her mother's surname? I suspect this has already been pondered on.

Hi Irene

I didn't really figure it out - just assumed there would not be two Ida C C McLeods born in 1901, and one of the entries gave another christian name. The one I posted is an Army birth index, whereas the one you posted is a Regimental birth index - presumably military births are indexed this way?

Choccy

I saw that -- it actually give 5 entries ---

MCLEOD, Ida C C

Regiment: 72nd Foot

this one has diff Volume Page

And I could not figure out if the Ida Colina ref page 463 belonged to which Volume/Page ---

how did you figure it please

the birth Irene posted also comes up with this -


Armed Forces registration event: Birth

Oh my! Thank you all for this info.

I can't recall seeing a Louisa C.C. Godddard before and, it is odd that there is an Ida C.C. MacLeod. (love the reference re Emily being a 'Cat Fancier')

It is obvious that the Goddard-Fenwicks were a very talented family and our Evelyn seems to have been named after at least 2 of them.

I am not as good as the rest of you at working census things out (I prefer parish records), so need to fetch Fans to see if anything in her records matches what we have here...


Where is she when you need her.....



Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans!

Oh Mother you are a mystery.
Thank you everyone for your kind help
