Find Ancestors

Thanks Viv I will do that

Dont give them it EV,they wont want to read through all 32 pages ,just as I wouldnt,just see what they come up with when you post...

Just give any info you think will be relevant ,like her poss year and place of birth,her marriage cert details and poss school etc and when she worked at Springfield hospital

Who knows,maybe they will find something we havent.

How do I tell them the number of the thread that is on here Viv?
The star has just come up on my laptop so I see where you mean me to post

The hospital is Wandsworth/Tooting way if you Google you will find it.

A GR member very kindly searched LMA for it for Evelyn when I asked for help as I live too far away to do it myself.
The info that Diane was believed to have worked there was given on here long ago by Evelyn but it has taken me all this time to find someone willing to do the search for us.
The GR member is good at research so I know what she tells us to be correct.

EV.
Above boards summary on the left of the page is a big box with Help Clinic written in it and it has a large star in the box too,just click on the box with all that in and it will take you to the board.

Someone that Viv knows found the information for me.
I believe the hospital to be in the London Area

How have you traced that she worked at the hospital? Where was Springfield hospital?

Viv I cannot see that onmy laptop

Evelyn
Have you tried a post on Genes new help clinic board with Genes Official Advisors.
Its over on the left with a big star in the box with its name.

Worth a try to see if they can find what we have been unable to in the last few years...

Viv

Diane has been traced as working at Springfield Mental Hospital from 7/6/1927 and 19/6/1928

Yet another hopeful nudge

Another hopeful nudge

Thank you my friend
Woofs to Ishbel X

Okay Dokay...

Yes Please Viv, I will of course reimburse you

OK.
Spoken to the place in Scotland and the will from them is ..£20 ouch.
That includes their search fee etc.

Do you wish me to go ahead with getting it?

Thank you Viv my friend,I am so grateful for all your help

This morning I received a letter from the Probate Office.

We have received your search request and undertaken the search for you and our records show that Confirmation was made in Scotland,which was resealed in England and Wales.
Unfortunately the Probate Service no longer keeps copies of resealed Confirmations.

If the date of death was prior to 1985 please contact The Scottish Records Office..


Off to see about that now..

Fan

The first one is Kate and Rev Donald MacLeods,who we believe to be of Dianes family,he was brother to Ishbel and Donald..but Norman is not theirs,but is related somehow,but I cant remember how at the moment.

Jan I wish I had some way of proving that Donald and Kate are the correct people, I have a good feeling about them but cannot be sure, yes I think that was one of their sons, thanks for your interest

either of these your Donald and Kate's children?
