Dorothy Worsfold.
« on: Tuesday 07 December 10 11:30 GMT (UK) »
I need to find some information about Dorothy Worsfold for part of my history project. She was my grandmother's mother. All I know is that she died in 1996, at the age of 68yrs, and she married Francis De Montford.
It would be a great help if anyone could give me information about her job, siblings, etc, or even dates. Thank you :)

Do you have any more info about Dorothy - like where she was born (even just vague ideas of country/county)

Is this her birth?:
Births Registered Mar 1/4 1929   
Worsfold  Dorothy 
Mother's maiden name: Whitwell 
district: Hemsworth 
Volume 9c
page: 280

If you purchase this you shoud get both parent's full names and occupations.

I can't see her marriage to Francis on Freebmd.  :-\

Hi SWar, hate to be a killjoy, but I think you should send that info via PM rather than post in on here - those people could all still be living!

Hi both all  :)

I  just read your other post, Ellie,
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,500359.0.html
and now I wonder whether you're sure about Dorothy's dates.

Now it turns out Francis' name was Culpin, I see this marriage:

Jun 1922 Willesden Francis D Culpin - Ada D L Worsfold

and a death: Ada Dorothy L Culpin, born 28 Jul 1900
Mar 1976, Colchester district
 "My dear, I think the English pronounce it 'appiness"  

I'm afraid of no ghost
