Find Ancestors

How strange! I spotted that newspaper index whilst wandering through the family yesterday Traciey.........I think it was dated 1944?? Wonder what it was all about?

I remember something about bankruptcy too.


Isn't it odd how, Diane's early years are a mystery and she has connections with a family who are full of mystery......... :-S

Not sure how much time I have today but will keep plodding on.

Cynthia I googled some of the Goddard-Fenwicks a while back and there was something in the London Gazette about George Digyby C G-F applying for bankruptcy. EDIT: Date is 8 August 1939

You may have also have seen this note in the newspaper index, not sure if it relates to him, it reads:
WILL Mr and/or Mrs Goddard-Fenwick late of 25 Crockerton Road, Tooting SW18, and at one time Rustington, Littlehampton, Sussex or anyone knowing their present whereabouts please communicate with Barfield & Barfield Solicitors Danes Inn House, 265, Strand, London WC2

EDIT: The date reads 10 April 1944

Hi Jan yes, it's the same person....that was his first marriage. In 1936, he married Patricia Whitby and had one daughter - Helen - in 1937.


When I google about him, all I can find is that song Isobel..... :-(


I'll go and have another wander around the family for a short while..........

(an old WDYTYA on last night, Richard Madeley in Nova Scotia, where he seemed to find everybody, so quick!, lol)

Chris :)

I know Cynthia-- it doesn't make sense. Maybe it's not her.

I couldn't find her just by searching on her name which is why I went to Sackville (where she married WHW GF) to look at the transcripts. The couple named Major above her on the transcript have the same names as her mother and father ( as given on her marriage to WHW GF posted earlier).

If you then look for her in 1901 as Ella M Major she appears with them. All the names and the ages match up on both census. The only details that don't match are the months that they were born.

Perhaps someone else could have a look and give an opinion?

Thanks

Julie

Hello everyone and thank you for your efforts - there's some good information coming in from you all.. :-D


If you aren't demented when you start on this thread....you are by the time you reach this stage...... :-S


I'm now totally confused Julie.......how can Ella M. Major be married to Mr. Shultz ?
Two with the same name? She is listed as Miss Major at her wedding in 1912.


Maybe it's time to go to bed and sleep on it..................... :-S :-(


Good night friends.... :-)

Never straightforward is it! Looked at every resident transcript for New Waterford in Canada 1911 census in case WHW GF was mistranscribed but didn't find him.

Next I thought I'd see if he was near Ella M Major but she didn't show up in a search so I went to Sackville to look for her. Looks like she is wife of a EDIT Arthur Schultz ( not George) and has two children - her mother and father appear just above them.

Will carry on looking to see if WHW GF is nearby.

Like several others haven't been able to find his brother either. If it helps his full name was George Digby Crofton Goddard Fenwick. Sometimes went by the name Digby and didn't always use the Fenwick.

Edit: For those unfamiliar with the Canada Census............click on the link above to see the transcript. Then click on the district number 28 highlighted in blue. That will take you to the list of page numbers for the district. Click on the PDF link next to page 5 and you'll see the image. It does appear to say Schultz for Arthur and Ella May.

Wooo I like coming on here and its moved on a page. Thanks Choccy for the electoral rolls. Well done all you detectives and Renes that was an excellent write up with the hospital connection. I've not been feeling too great(doc thinks I have a sphenoid sinus infection) but I've still been tracking those MacLeod/McLeods that were neighbours to the Goddard-Fenwicks.

For those interested on the history of nursing etc I remember my college lecturer a few years ago telling me about a relative of hers being a nurse in the highlands and islands before the nhs came in. So I had a quick search and found this http://www.60yearsofnhsscotland.co.uk/history/birth-of-nhs-scotland/highlands-and-islands-medical-service/

Just read the article too - wonder where his genealogy research is?? Might be able to shed some light or discount some theories lol!

Anything is possible :-S

Chris

Thats is an interesting article ...... good spot

Thank you all.

Chris....where WERE these people at all????


Autumnleaves, thank you but we just can't seem to tie those Clarkes in at the moment. :-(


Hope Renes doesn't find her tax work too taxing...... :-D :-D
