Stoke Golding, Leicestershire - close to the Warwickshire border?

No Dorothy Reid's born 1942 +/- 4 years in that area - nor spelt Read/Reed

Do you know if she originated locally or if Dorothy was not a first name?

Any siblings? Parents names ?

No Marysia's born in that area either - Middx. Lincs, Notts, Sussex, Devon, Yorks, Lancs, Northants and Wales - and going by the majority of surnames probably of Polish descent ?

Were you all in the same school year, so all born in about 1941/1943?

Hi everyone

Thanks

Dorothy was born, I think, in Ireland.
Married a Robert Mcdonald in Chiswick in 1969.
Marysia is of polish descent and lived in Leicester but was born in Tanganyka.
All of us born between 1941-43.
Have actually found many relatives but no Dorothy. Perhaps need direct contact with one of them.

There's a Dorothy A Reid marrying a Robert I McDonald in 1969 in Chatham. Not seeing a marriage in Chiswick.

I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!
