I gave you Dora's birth..........................

That was what led me to the marriage...............

I doubt very much that the Coroner's report will be accessible

Thanks, really helpful, not knowing Kate's maiden name was a problem as Dora could have been born before the marriage, shall certainly look further to what you have found.
I wonder can you help me find the Coroner's report regarding Dora's death, I know the date of her death 14th March 1934, and she committed suicide, (Westminster) have tried several sources but have drawn a blank.

Parents: Joseph James Matthews and Kate Matthews, Dora eldest, Nellie, then Arthur, just found Arthur's birth thanks, but not sure what happened to him after.
Dora had a very sad married life and death !! My husband is related to her son.
Families all complicated.
