Paul, About the daughter - possibly registered under the mothers name, I would think, since you don't mention a marriage. There are rather a lot of 'Dorothy M' births in the 2nd & 3rd Q's, the GRO have a LOT to answer for, reducing the middle names to first letters only! Hopefully you will let us know if you have any joy with the will. Anne 5083/Blocksidge NZ >Then in the right hand column, it says "Dorothy May (Daughter) born 1.6.18" and "Child as above". I can't find a birth of a Dorothy May Howes in 1918. >Paul Howes
