It's really weird isn't it Julie....? :-S

(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

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

Possibly because these were educated women .. With incomes

Renes.....the death of Willoughby's first wife is mentioned in Chris's post at the top of the page.


I guess Evelyn Mary is the daughter of Willoughby and Ella then.


Does anyone else find it strange that there are so many unmarried females in this family? :-S

(just to add, not sure of Canadian Birth Records for around 1915, Death of Evelyn Mary GF gives 6th March 1915, comes back with family below)
