minnie,go back to page one,you said IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD AS ISABELLA HOPE MCDONALD were annie macdonald age 26,

no the facts are not being made to fit at all,yes i have the birth cert,ronald mcdonald born 27feb 1915 in beaconsfield rd west derby liverpool to ella mcdonald,no fathers name.ronald was adopted by charles and may goodlass livind in wavertree rd liverpool(i was also born in wavertree rd liverpool in 1964).why would i try and make the facts fit?ive been to scotland to try and find her this is serious.

No, its all wrong, wrong wrong -

Question

Do you hav your grandfather birth cert?

Suzanne

Suzanne Report 25 Apr 2009 22:05

minnie,ella is short for isabella,maybe she didnt like the name hope?but the lady that found the original one for me on find my past said her name was ISABELLA HOPE MCDONALD and not the other way round,maybe someone has made a mistake with the names?any way in very excited about this,i cant thank you enough.x

So we are all completely up a gum tree -

looking at an Isabella Silcock when you want Ella Macdonald!

I think you are completely on the wrong tract, and letting assumption cloud your view.

DONT!!!

Suzanne

Suzanne Report 25 Apr 2009 22:00

ricochet,isabellas maiden name was mcdonald when she had my grandfather,no fathers name was on the birth cert.my granfather took his mothers maiden name as she wasnt married,thank you very much for looking.x

Penny

Penny Report 25 Apr 2009 22:00

it all seems a bit far fetched to be honest.

why woould Hope isabella call herself Ella?

if 'Ella' was unmarried, she was born a Macdonald, surely?

Suzanne

Suzanne Report 25 Apr 2009 21:56

minnie,i dont know what to say,im gobsmacked at all the info,isabella was unmarried but if the father died*(ww1 )then she wouldnt have been able to keep the child,this looks like my rellie,everything is falling into place(family rumour says that my grandfathers father went to war and promised isabella he would marry her when he came home but was killed,but nobody believed the story,everyone thought she was making it up because she was pregnant with a fatherless child.x

on my granfathers birth cert his mothers name was ella mcdonald,ella i think was short for isabella,my nan says she was scottish,she was 17 when she had him in 1915 he was then adopted by a couple living in wavertree road,his birth mother reg him before she gave him away and she named him RONALD MCDONALD.he must have been named after her father.oh my god if this is right then ive spend hundreds of pounds barking up the wrong tree.x
