New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Davies and Dodd *COMPLETED*

Earlier in the thread, I said this:

Eve and Ken had, as I said, one daughter, Bethany Elizabeth, who died on Christmas Day last year.  She had one daughter, who was given up for adoption, but no children with her husband Kris, who died a few years before her.

And I now need to add to it.  Bethany Elizabeth not only had one daughter, whom she surrendered for adoption, but also a son surrendered for adoption.  The process of discovering that has been quite fascinating, and partly due to this very discussion, so I felt it incumbent on me to update the info :-)  Thanks to all who've contributed pieces of the jigsaw puzzle.

Following recent posts on this thread, and some private messages related to the descent line, I remembered that I have a pile of about 10 photos which came from Elizabeth (Hungerford) van Veen, and which I volunteered to scan for the family.  I've just had another look at them, and they include one labelled "Eve Dodd, my aunt".  I'm assuming that's Eva Blanche Dodd, who would have been Elizabeth's great-aunt (with the photo's label having been written by her mother, Bethany Eva (Pascoe) Hungerford).  Given Kik's information that she died at around 23yo, and that this is a 19th C photo of a young adult woman, it may be one of the only - if not THE only - photo of her in existence, and it would be hugely unfair of me to keep it to myself.

If anyone would like a copy, please PM me.  It'll make me get off my backside and do the scanning! :-)

Hi,

I'm jumping back into the Davies and Dodd tree following the latest posting by Pasclaw with some updates of the Catherine Pascoe (Dodd) side of the family siblings. As I've said before my knowledge of my grandfathers half siblings is scant and therefore my tree on that side runs out early. I have been absolutely fascinated finding out about that scoundrel Herman / George Davies - brilliant stuff. I have been able to piece together lots of loose ends. Not sure how many more 'holes' you have to fill but maybe I have a few answers for you from my research. Pasclaw I would love some more details of the next generations after Bethany Eve, Edith Victtrine and your grandfather Ralph William Pascoe.
Some titbits from my tree notes of the other siblings of Catherine Tankersley Pascoe - Mary Catherine b.1856 at Prahran, d.1856, Annie Elizabeth b.1857 at Maryborough we have heard lots about, Herman Tankersley b.1859 at Gardiner d.1899 of syphilis! (I have a copy of his death certificate)- is this the uncle you talk of who brought up Herman Davies?? may not have been the greatest role model!!, then Catherine Tankersley b.1862 at Dunedin d.1954 in Sydney, Eva Blanche b.1865 at Dunedin d.1888 "died after a painful illness of 30 hours" says her headstone, and Alfred Ernest b.1868 at Dunedin d.1903 at Adelaide- he was a bit of a scoundrel too and deserted his wife and young son also. I have even got notes of the Dodd/Dodt/Dodemann family back into Bremen,Germany where they came from ,dating back to 1686 if that's of any help to anyone.

Hi Spades,
Thank you for your guidance. Will avoid "living names" in future.
As for name & photo, I logged in using facebook so these were automatically adopted by rootschat. It's the way the rootschat app has been set up by rootschat.
I have managed to edit my name but not my photo - any help with this would be appreciated.

Regards, Hayden55

Hayden, I clicked on my own user name, then on "forum profile" and there's an option in there to select an avatar, upload an avatar or use no pic at all.  That's how to change your forum pic.

If you want a topic edited for a correction after twenty-four hours feel free to ask a Moderator to do this for you, although it's perfectly ok to simply discuss errors in earlier posts further down the topic (e.g. 'refer Reply#7...').

Thnaks.  So if I wanted to ask a Moderator, would I use the "report to moderator" link, or is that only for "bad" posts?

Thanks for the welcome, Spades, and the instruction.

And on that note, I have a question - when I realised I'd made an error in my first post, I went to find some way to amend the post, but couldn't see any way to do it.  OTOH, the post you asked me to amend had a "modify post" option, which I used.  Did you specifically set that post so that it could be modified by me, or am I just going crazy and can't see a similar option on the first post? :-)

I'd love to see the notes of the Dodd origins - the difficulty of researching in another language has always deterred me from tracking back that line.

On the Pascoe connection - Ralph William Pascoe m. Dorice Wilhelmina Neruda Beck in NZ and they came to Australia on their honeymoon and stayed.  RWP was a government surveyor.  They had four children (one being my dad), three of whom are still alive.

I included something incorrect in my earlier post - Ken Hungerford was Merlin Hungerford's uncle, not brother.  Merlin and Victtrine had one daughter, who last I knew was living in London, but I haven't stayed in touch with her.  Eve and Ken had, as I said, one daughter, Bethany Elizabeth, who died on Christmas Day last year.  She had one daughter, who was given up for adoption, but no children with her husband Kris, who died a few years before her.

DODD FAMILY

Catherine Tankersley PASCOE (nee DODD) - bc 1864

Catherine's husband William Stevens PASCOE died in NZ in 1913 - aged 47 years and is buried at Linwood Cemetery in Christchurch.
Cemetery link  >>

http://librarydata.christchurch.org.nz/cemeteries
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Catherine Tankersley PASCOE died in Sydney, Australia on 22 December 1954.   Her ashes were returned to NZ and buried in a family plot at Dunedin in 1955.   

Catherine's  funeral notice appeared in the "Sydney Morning Herald" 30 December 1954 - (page 14).
Link to Australian newspaper website can be found in Resources section of R/Chat Australia board.

Her two daughters' were mentioned in the notice - bit hard to read, but looks like "Victtorine / Victorine"... surname is LANAGHAN;  and Eva (Bethany Eva ?) (Mrs B E HUNGERFORD).
[Marriages for daughters can be found on the New South Wales (Australia) online BDM.  "Victtorine" as Edith Victtrine ? married 1st in 1926 using the surname PASCOE.  For a later marriage (to LANAGHAN - 1948) she uses the surname TANKERSLEY ???.  ]
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,


Just for a bit of extra info and to clear up some justifiable confusion:
Catherine's two daughters were Bethany Eva (Eve to the family) and Edith Victtrine (Victtrine to the family; note that odd double-T spelling is correct).  However, she also had a son, Ralph William Pascoe (my grandfather), born in Adelaide 22/10/1900, d.5/9/1959 in Sydney.  Victtrine and Eve married two brothers - Victtrine to Merlin Herbert Hungerford, and Eve to Kenneth Stuart Hungerford.  (Victtrine's subsequent marriage to John Herbert Lanaghan has her name at marriage as Edith Victtrine Hungerford in the BDM records; she and Merlin had divorced in 1938.)  And to further the confusion, Eve and Ken had a daughter Bethany Elizabeth (18/1/1925-25/12/2013, known as Elizabeth to the family), who was therefore also B.E. Hungerford until her marriage to Kris van Veen in the 1960s.
