My Mother was Who ...Hello, My Name is Patrick Shaw. My Mother was Who isn't very computer Savvy, decided to google the name Dr. Daws Dunham whom her Mother(My Grandmother Ethel Sop) was a Nanny for in Egypt. She found this story, and is delighted to hear someone talk about the stories her Mother told her as a Child. My Mother has Pictures of this wedding, although they aren't in the greatest condition. She also has pictures of Pippa's parents and Abdul Aziz. Ethel and Alec moved to New York USA after this and Sadly Ethel passed away in the late 1950's...When My Mother (Jeanette McMenemy) was 16. My Mother Jeanette moved Toronto Canada after Ethel passed away, where she met my Father, and had two daughter and myself. <br /><br />These stories are very precious to my Mom as they are the words that an English Nanny working in Egypt would tell her New York Daughter. You have made her day by sharing this blog. <br /><br />My Mother would love to talk to you, She'd love to hear about Pippa. Ethel would call her Pepper. <br /><br />If you get this message, please email me @ patrickseanshaw@hotmail.com or patrickseanshaw@gmail.com<br /><br />Thank you, <br /><br />Patrick Shaw Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951992442332773943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130830332820181818.post-33274282635960501572013-02-06T19:22:40.882-05:002013-02-06T19:22:40.882-05:00I was just sent this article by my Aunt Jeanette, ...I was just sent this article by my Aunt Jeanette, she is the youngest daughter of "Nanny" Ethel and her "glorious kilted Scotsmen" Alex. A fascinating read. I knew when my Grandparents came to America, but I never knew why they came. My father, their firstborn, Andrew was born the following year.<br /><br />Thank you Philippa Shaplin for writing this, and John for posting it. I just read it to my 84 year old father, he did not know any of this either.Andy in PAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589072725814355046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130830332820181818.post-7379969352623585402011-08-20T19:11:52.001-04:002011-08-20T19:11:52.001-04:00Photos ( top to bottom): decent into the tomb of H...Photos ( top to bottom): decent into the tomb of Hetepheres; Aerial view of Giza; the Step Pyramid.johnshaplinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618981988062495637noreply@blogger.com
