Hi Cyn, awe poor FBG get well soon. Glad the thread is ticking over, something will crop up one day that will lead us to Diane. In the meantime I'll have a read over it all again.

Hi Traciey - nice to see you :-D


Things have been quiet on here for a while but, fortunately, I am in contact with Evelyn most days. I will let her know that you have posted again.


Unfortunately that old bat FBG, suffered a slight stroke last week and is taking things easy at the moment. How many times have I told her that hanging upside down will do her blood pressure no good at all...... ;-)


So, I suppose, this thread will gently tick over until someone comes up with another idea......and then off we will go again.........



:-) :-) :-)

Glad to see this thread is very much still alive. I've just renewed my membership after a few years off but I continued to check this thread. Evelyn, hope your well and I was sad to read your husband has gone to sleep.

I'm going to re-read the full thread again just to refresh my memory and see whats been found.

Evelyn a while back I had a dream that your mother was sent to Scotland during the war( I actually had several weird dreams about your mother a few years ago), I wonder if this actually happened!!! If taking her year of birth 1905/06 or even earlier it would tie in with her age of being about 12/13 years of age and being out in the peat fields with her cousins, she could of been sent away in 1914 age 9.

Oh heck Cynthia I feel as if I have run a marathon, I have finally managed to put Diane,s photo on here, thank you for your help.
Still no trace of the elusive one,she certainly has done a good job hiding her roots,I wonder why

So far, so good Evelyn thanks. Hope you are the same.
Had a quick google for info about this person & his map making exploits are well documented, but there is no other info about him. Had hoped to find out what regiment he served with or his age, or something, but no joy.
They did say on the programme that very little was known about him, but they had a copy of his map & were trying to retrace his steps.
Not a programme I would have chosen to watch really, but it was absolutely fascinating.
All the best for 2013.
Marion

That sounds interesting Wise,how nice if I was related to him.fancy being related to someone that did something useful.
I hope you are all having a good new year so far.
Love to you all from a dark and dreary Guernsey

Completely off topic, but I happened to see a programme the other day called The Map Man.
I wasn´t really paying attention but my ears pricked up when it sank in that the subject of the programme was a William Roy who in the early 1740s set out from Fort George to map the highlands. Some job!!!. Apparently he was very successful.
Could he be one of your ancestors Evelyn?

You still remain 10 years older than me Baggage :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P

Thanks jansmith - that's the photo which I sent to my contact on FB but he seemed confused between his Evelyn's (Goddard Fenwicks) :-S I haven't heard from him since... :-(
