Hi Gerri,

Hi Gerri,

so the parents names are just names passed down from Joan then? I wonder if over the years they got muddled??

Gerri

I had an aunt Jessie. Only ever known as Jessie. On her birth cert she is recorded as Jessie. However, i have seen Jessie mistranscribed as Jassie.

Vera

Just found 2 births in Fyled Q2 1918 on Freebmd.

Jessie Bagot
Jessie Johnson

yesssss yessss yessss!

Thanks everyone.
I think i need to jog Joans memory.

Gerri x

Ummm.......... but that means Jessie was only 15 when she had Joan and even younger when she had Dorothy!

Any little snippets that can be remembered would help.



Dee x

What is Joans birthdate.......... just day and month would do.

If Joan could remember her Grandparents names that may help too?


Dee x

Just worked that out too Dee...bummer!

Looks like i will have to wait for her to find her birth cert.

Gerri

Gerri,

It's not often that a 16 year old would remember exactly where she was born, especially if her parents weren't around to remind her......... Fleetwood could be just were she remembers?


Dee x

We dont expect to go back from Jessie as Joan said that jessie was a foundling...Dumped on church steps in Scotland.

Someone must have given Jessie a surname!

I don't suppose Joan has a middle names does she?

Nope!
