Well, this 'old fogie' - thanks for that Viv - has reappeared and is now totally bewildered and bewitched but will endeavour to see what all the posts are about. Poor Evelyn mustn't know whether she is coming or going.

Who deleted?


I still wonder if it is worthwhile trying to suss out an up to date Goddard-Fenwick...you know.....folklore and all that??? Pictures from weddings/baptisms handed down?????


What next?


This 'old fogie' is out most of the day.....not on a zimmer ....but her own two tooties thanks very much!


Back later.

Hi Evelyn

Picking up on Ladykira's thread did you know that there are two members on here who have Kathleen Goddard Fenwick born 1943 Hereford and John Goddard Fenwick born 1940 in their trees?

Might be worth looking into.

Well well - what a lot has been going on in the last 24 hours

As i said earlier did Diane hate her real name - could she have been called Eileen? Is Auntie one of those listed - gosh what a lot of things to think about.

Well done the old foggies and friends.

Oh my goodness my head is in a whirl, I wish I was called Goddard Fenwick and I would be close to solving the mystery of Diane.
When my son and I went to Register House in Edinburgh they said they didnt believe my mothers name was Diane , they suggested it could perhaps have been Dolinda or something like that and she chose a different name for her self

Thank you for that Jooleh so that really might have been Mothers name.
This has certainly been a difficult thread and we are not there yet but what a lot of help I have had, thank you all so much

I wondered about her being called Donaldina think i might have wanted to change my name if it was that!

Evelyn

Evelyn Report 19 Dec 2009 22:05

As there seem to have been Donalds in the family perhaps she was Donaldina, perhaps her parents were like she herself was as she never wanted a daughter she told me, she only wanted sons.I was much saddened when she said that to me, and here I am at 77 and still remember that

Donaldina? Goodness me....if you hadn't produced that list Jackie, I would have thought you had made it up. Do you know, it could be right though because you can almost make the name Diane from it can't you?

Maybe girls with this name were called Dina (deena or diner) for short??


And if her parents wanted a boy???

Stranger things have happened.

Anything is possible on this thread!!



hmmmm. more to think about....poor Evelyn, you must be x-eyed with all this.

Night night. sleep tight.

Some mothers have a lot to answer for as I know myself.
They leave you with more sadness than joy sometimes.
