Hi there,
Trying to trace the above person, she was born in 1905 in London. she had several siblings who died during the war, the only remaining sibling being Margaret Shearing. I know she would be deceased by now but cannot seem to find a death certificate. I have been told that she moved to the coast but that is all the information we have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Samantha x

Hi,
On the 1935 Electoral Register there is a Dolly Shearing living at 79 Troughton Road, Greenwich with Joseph and Grace Stevens.

Wonder if she preferred to be called Dorothy in later life as there is this death -
Dorothy Shearing
Birth Date - 6 Jun 1905
Date of Registration - Sep 1981
Age at Death - 76
Registration district - Southend on Sea
Inferred County - Essex
Vol 9 Page 2384
Do you have her birth cert to clarify her birth date?

A free search of the 1939 shows a Dorothy Shearing born 1905 living at Southend on Sea with John Westbury-Jones and 1 more person.
This could tie in with the death record as above.
Cannot find a birth in 1905 of a Dorothy Shearing, only a Dolly Catherine M Shearing is recorded.
If you have access to the 1939 I'd suggest you look to see if she is single.
