Hi Rosie, thanks for the reply, unfortunately i dont have any dates, only a memory of mum telling me that her mum had a sister called liesel who married a dick dickson, and had kids called harry and dorothy, dorothy died while young, and harry moved to scotland, i can only assume it would have been around the 30's but cant be sure..

FreeBMD has a birth of a Dorothy T E Dixon, mother's surname Schmidt, registered in Eastleigh in the September quarter of 1927. No Harry or Henry however. Maybe he was born in Germany?

Also a Dorothy T E Dixon, aged 14, died in 1942. Death registered in Winchester in the September quarter.

No marriage either.
