Hi all,
Would just like to ask if anyone has come across the first name Dorice in any of their family tree reserch (b.1892). I am trying to track down my great-great-Aunt, Dorice Scarlett ... born in Portsmouth & living there still with her maternal grandmother at the time of the last census in 1911. She was also a witness at a family wedding in Southsea in 1915.
Family 'ledgend' says that she later lived in Scotland and never got married. I can find no trace at all of any marriage of death on either Scotlands People or on various english bmd sites.
A quick google of the name Dorice Scarlett brings up a record (https://www.edinburgh-gazette.co.uk/...ges/58/pagepdf) referring to a lady by that name in December 1930 being promoted at the Admiralty.
I don't want to jump to any conclusions, but the time period seems to fit and it is a very unusual name. Also, has anyone got any ideas about how to do some research into the Admiralty in Scotland?
Thanks all
Hayley
