  Research Notes:

There are many Doris K Cartwright on Electoral role in England, Scotland and Wales. Have removed many from list who are no longer on list as at end of 2001. Doubtful if Doris is still alive -- could write to the 100 or so left and see if any luck in having mail passed on.




2003 -- one of the ones I removed in 2001 turned out to be Doris in Craigard! However she died in 1999

Doris married Horace George CARTWRIGHT-[28] [MRIN:27], son of Francis Edgar CARTWRIGHT-[24] and Florence SMITH-[25], on 11 Sep 1928 in Mussoorie, India. (Horace George CARTWRIGHT-[28] was born on 22 Jun 1902 in Birmingham, Warwickshire (UK) and died after 26 Feb 1948.)
