surname Dlddyhm, originate from.

[Roecoyle]

Hi, would anyone know where/what country the surname DLDDYHM would originate from?.
I still have`nt been able to find any record of it although i have been searching for ages.
I have mentioned the surname on the deciphering post/board and i agree this is the
correct spelling and i thank all the people who responded to that post. This surname
is obviously foriegn but i have no idea of where to search for foriegn names, thought
i would give this board a try. many thanks.

Looking at the two images it seems to be clearly Deddy-something or possibly D'Eddy-something

There is a lady and 2 year old daughter with a similar name in the 1901 census at 23 St Andrews Mansions, St Marylebone. Looks like Mrs Deddyln, 22, and daughter Kathleen, 2, both from Brickley (?Bruckley?), Scotland.

news.google.com I think has an article about her first marriage! Search for "Lisa McKay", it's an article in 1903 with the title "Groom's Name Is Dilddgim".

Again, this is probably not the actual spelling, you would have pay to get a copy of the article as it seems to have been OCR'd and the text is rather garbled.

Good find Jorose!

Trying to squeeze more out of Google's OCR  on this:

"Groom's Name Is Dilddgim‎
Pay-Per-View - The Sun - Jul 27, 1903

... morrilkfc of the marriage In St Andrerrci London on July 2 of Mr Cei*U DlWdglm a prosperous young met* of Wales to Miss Lisa McKayri scotch manicure wJH come aa a surprise Miss McKaybetoro ** had been employed  In oneotthe manicure establlshmrntauoCt where ..."

So the first marriage was in July 1903 in London? Or was it?

Thank you both so very much for your help Shaum J and Jerose.
 I will certainly follow up your leads. It looks like that is her first
marriage which i had not found so far. Her second marr took
place in New York on 16th Jan 1904, she must have remarried
very quickly after the death of her first husband. (have`nt found
a death for him yet).  I will keep you posted on how i get on.
many thanks. roecoyle.

In case you haven't got this already.....she is in a  1917 New York Directory:

 Lissa McKay Israel (Chas W Israel Co), 132 W21st

They are in the household of Kate H Hapgood and Mrs D is described as a Lady Help

Just wondering whether that could be her. I can't see Elisa McKay in the Scotland census for 1901.

There is a birth registration for a Kathleen McKay in Marylebone in Q/e  March  1899 which would fit.

I certainly haven't been able to spot the marriage and wonder if it actually occurred. The birth for Kathleen McKay is interesting - can't see her on the 1901 census or a death for her.

At any rate if you can get the image of the original newspaper article that will hopefully be readable enough to get the proper spelling. If we can get the groom's proper first name, even, we can probably track him down.
