Yes he was the one born in Hampshire in 1881.
Thanks for looking anyway.

Good for you.It dosnt matter what others think.My mum used to call me Fanny Annie to hurry me up if I was straggling along behind her.Good memories.

I have had a good search for him coming in from anywhere.
Nothing that seems to be him ,alone or with Fotini.

He was the one born Hampshire 1881ish I take it?

Fanny Ann was my nickname as a child and then it went to FBG later in life ,so thats what decided me,even if it does have a rather bad association with ladies of the night,NO, I was not one,but I have known a few in my time.
But I like the name and dont care what people think...

FannyByGaslight.
Love the name by the way.It was my late dads nickname for me.!!
Ann

grandads name was Archibald Arthur by the way.

FannyByGaslight.
All suggestions appreciated.
problem with passenger lists is I have no idea when he came back to england.could have been any time between 1914 and 1960
Ann

Just reading this and I HAVE to make this suggestion folks,sorry

How about incoming passenger lists?
Maybe under Grandads name?
I dont see a Fotini whatsit on her own,but she may have travelled under Grandads name?

I will now butt out...

Thanks for the suggestion.not local but am going to records office in a couple of weeks time so will see what I can find there.
Ann

If you are local you could look at her previous address on electoral register to check spelling of both names. (Assuming she was eligible to vote of course!). Other occupants may give some clues too.

Brummiejan,
yes I'm very interested.Death cert is my next step.Just wish I knew where they met and where she came from.
Ann

Hi SharoninGreece,
Thank you. I was told it was proberly fatini not fotini but your answer is lovely.I will now look for a fotini as is on the headstone.,many thanks again.
Ann

Fotini is a Greek name. It means Light.

Very good friends indeed I'd say - how lovely. If you are really interested you might want to get her death cert maybe?
Jan

Just to add to the mystery my grandad was in the army and my nan,grandad and my mum lived in malta until 1914 when my nan and mum came back to england but my grandad didnt.I dont know what happened to him after that.
Ann

Thanks to all for your help.
Brummiejan,
When I found where my grandad was buried I found his headstone and on it under my grandads name it says Fotini Gogiades.1895-1965 (intered nearby)
I spoke to the vicar and he said he thought it meant she was buried outside the churchyard as she was proberly not c of e but by the name was greek orthodox!!
I then went to the old peoples home where he died and they had a record of them as coming there together in1961.She was not my grandmother so presumed they were just good friends!!!!

I think Fatini might be an eastern name. This sounds vaguely Turkish or Greek - maybe from Cyprus but who knows!
Just being nosy but how did you come across this person?
Jan

Ann,

Name could have been mis transcribed, does not seem quite right to me.

Most probably was Georgiades. Also never seen Fatini as a first name either.

Sharon

Hi TheLadyInRed.
No married name.believe she did not marry.Her name is on my grandfathers headstone as being intered nearby!!.I think that was because she was possibly greek orthodox not c of e as was my grandad.I do know they were together in an old peoples home where they both died and they lived together in Hampton.!!
Ann

her death:

England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005

Name: Fatini Gogaides
Death Registration Month/Year: 1969
Age at death (estimated): 75
Registration district: Bishop Stortford

Do you have the death cert? Who was informant? What other info?

Is that her married name? If so, do you have maiden name? Doesn't sound English - any birth details or any other info?

This is a really long shot but does anybody know any thing about a Fatini Gogiades.She died in 1969 at Dane End, Hertforshire. aged75. She also lived in Cardinals Walk, Hampton pre 1961.
Many thanks in anticipation.
Ann
