Title: Any information on Dorothy Leah? Wrexham area
Post by: rhubarb on Tuesday 06 August 19 21:07 BST (UK)
Hello,
Bit of a long shot but thought I would ask to see if any light can be shed for a friend of mine.
Her Father is called George Williams born Wrexham around 1934 ( birth was registered then) Mother was Dorothy(Dorathy) Leah . I think his father is possibly not named. However she would like any info on Dorothy . She has no members of family left as they all died young . Dorothy later married but he was step grandfather allegedly .
Sorry, I know not a lot to go on at the moment so any help would make a difference
Thanks

Free BMD has two other Williams births in 1936 and 1940 - both female with same mmn.
I have one named them. Are these the ones you say are now deceased?

Doris' birth was registered in Atcham. There's also a Dorothy M Leah born 1914 in the same area. They do have different mmns though.

Rhubarb,

1939 register would help you, I think.

Mother’s maiden name - mmn

The marriage is Doris and the census info looks good for Doris Mabel.
There was a sister to George called Dorothy -perhaps there is a bit of confusion with the names.

When you mention a remarriage, do you mean for George's mother?

I think I saw a Doris M Williams marrying a Mr Jones - could that be the one?

Yes that’s the one ! She married a Samuel Jones . I’m thinking possibly 1st husband died in the war .
Great work Thankyou
