Davies and Dodd *COMPLETED*

[Calametals]

Hi Pasclaw,

I came across these postings while doing some research I've been doing on Elizabeth Van Veen's history and have been astounded at what I've been reading. I'm quite nervous posting this comment. I may have a personal connection to her based on the corraboration of information I am reading to what I have discovered on my own so far. Is there any way you could PM me to discuss? I understand I can't post  my email here and I don't have the required 3 posts to PM you. I haven't used this before so am quite unsure what protocol is for this.

Thanks!

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.

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.
