  • Doris Margery Dowsett/Price?

    I have Doris Margery Dowsett, born in Steyning in 1907.

    In 1979 and again in 1983, she appears as an informant on death certificates - but her name is given as Doris Marjorie (spelling change) PRICE.

    I have hunted and hunted but can find no marriage for her.

    Does anyone have any ideas please?

    Thanks

    PS She was using the Dowsett name in the 1930's

    Apart from a systematic trawl through the complete images, quarter by quarter, year by year, not sure what else you can do.

      Thanks, Elaine - I've done that and found nothing!!

      Maybe I'll try again :D

        Another possible spelling is Marjory, but you should spot that adjacent to Marjorie. Have you reversed the first names, putting Margery/Marjory first?

            I wonder if this is her death

            Doris Margery Price, born 16 Jul 1907, death reg Sep 2003
            Age 96
            Reg district Kent
            Reg no. KDS1
            District and subdistrict 564/1S
            Entry no.165


            I don't know how to work out what district of Kent that is but if you can narrow it down you might find a death notice.

            I suppose if you can't find a marriage, she could have got married abroad, or simply changed her name

              I have trawled all Dowsetts from the year dot, I think, UJ!! :o

              I am beginning to wonder whether there is something more to this, as the people for whom she was the informant were her brother-in-law, HW Wicks (subject of a long and complicated thread on this site) and her sister, HW's wife.

                If you got the death cert you might discover who she was supposed to be married to

                  I think that must be her Jackie! It's the right quarter for her birth!! Thank you

                  I don't know how to work out which district it is either, but will try to find out

                  Thank you

                      Have you tried all the variations of Dowsett?

                      Doucet, Dorset etc.

                        Thanks UJ - I tried Doucet and Doucette, and some others, but not Dorset!

                          That's why I thought it would be easier to find out Mr Price's first name and then trawl on Price. Not so many variations! lol

                            I'll let you into a secret - when I saw the thread title I thought "Ooh I've got Dowsett's in my tree"

                            It took me a while to realise that I haven't but because I've been so interested in your previous quests I must have mentally adopted them :o

                              Thanks Merry

                              I wish I thought things through more before before gaily launching into huge searches!! :D

                                Thanks again Jackie - Am sure that is the right one

                                I still can't work out how to work out which district of Kent it is.

                                Does anyone know, please or should I resort to the GTO (!) again ?

                                Also, is it just me, or is it impossible to see the original images after 1984 on Ancestry?

                                Thanks

                                  There are no images after 1984, it's all computerised.

                                    Many thanks, Margaret - I'll stop trying to find the original then!!!

                                    So I guess I need to find out what "District and subdistrict 564/1S" means
