Find Ancestors

Hello everyone,
So far 2013 has been OK, I went out for a meal on New Year's Eve with my brother in law and his wife, we had a lovely time and the food was good as well, it's so nice to have company, living alone is not a lot of fun.
Changing the subject I wonder if this will be the year when one of you dear friends will be able to trace the elusive Diane?
Much love to you all

Well here we are its Boxing Day,think I will have a quiet one.
I had a wonderful day yesterday , thanks to my lovely neighbours who made me so welcome at their family lunch,the meal was delicious as was the company and I had lots of laughs.
I hope you all had a wonderful day.
Love to all

Happy Christmas :-)

Somefink I have musing on.

You said she had some sort of private income.

Could it be that she she had her father's pension if she was orphaned at a young age.

I think I saw something like this when looking for someone else.

If so might the army of records of it.

Happy Christmas Evelyn dear. <3

Happy Christmas Evelyn

Winter will soon pass now Christmas is here .....soon be Spring .......... and Easter Eggs will be on sale in the supermarkets almost before we have packed the Christmas baubles into the loft again

The months and life rolls on ........ and so it should..... as will the search for your mother

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to pop in to say 'thank you' to those of you who have used your skills during this year in the search for the elusive Diane.

We may not have found her yet, but the mystery has brought a group of us together in friendship and willingness in order to help a fellow member.

The search, which now enters it's 4th year, has taken us from Scotland to Dorset - from England to India - from India to Canada. We have researched various families and contacted numerous agencies. There have been advertisements, letters, emails sent out and phone calls made - all in the hope of that one vital clue which will lead us to the journey's end.

One day soon maybe............we live in hope. :-D


Meanwhile, I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Merry Christmas Evelyn, and to everyone who has been soo involved in the search for Diane! I check in every now and then to see if there have been any more developments!

Here's hoping for 2013!
Vanessa :-)

Happy Christmas Evelyn & Everyone


Still looking even if I don't post anything here ..............

Happy Christmas Evelyn.
We have to find her PDQ because I think quite q few of us won´t be renewing when our subs run out thanks to Genes subscription hike.
I´m sure we will all carry on looking until our subs run out, & many will renew regardless.
Happy New Year. Do hope you find her in 2013.

Think I lost the plot around page 80

I've checked with herself - who, apparently - is a bit poorly at the moment. Just looking for sympathy probably but knows she won't get any from me.... ;-) ;-)


Yes, she did all the checking about Diane's time at the Springfield and there was nothing apart from the barest details - name etc. :-(


Thanks Quoy - will take a look.


Don't know about the rest of you, but each time I come on here I have to rack my brains to remember who is who with this search. :-S

Pretty sure you are right Cynthia. Also, there is nothing to suggest that Diane was a trained nurse. She could just have been an auxilliary.

Hi.......didn't we discover at some point, that there was no information on DLM from those records. Have a feeling that Fans checked by phone. I'll give her a shout and see if she can remember.


Probably get a slap for disturbing her too........ :-(

I started to look at the Nursing records at Kew but it's a major exercise and I haven't got the time.
