Robert Shennan and Dorothy May Pearl Taylor
« on: Monday 05 February 18 10:52 GMT (UK) »
Robert Shennan and Dorothy May Taylor were married in June 1943 in Bromley, Robert diied in 1998 in Canterbury and Dorothy died 1991 in Canterbury so I am assuming they lived all thier married lives in Kent. I am searching for descendants of this couple as there is a good chance some of them will still be alive. I am a relative and would just like to contact them to learn more of the family story.

There is this birth?

September qtr 1909
Wandsworth Registration District     vol 1d, page 614

Taylor, Dorothy May P

Which fits with her stated date of birth on the Death Registration:
March qtr 1991
Canterbury Registration District     vol 16, page 170

Shennan, Dorothy May P     Date of Birth 2nd June 1909


What I am getting at is that there doesn't appear to be a previous marriage!

I haven't tracked any children myself but thought it was worth putting the request on in case anyone else was working on the same line.
There was a previous marriage for Dorothy May, in 1935 she married Herbert Matthew Beach but no idea if they were divorced or bigamists. Both remarried.

Dorothy and Robert both had wills, worth getting them?

I found one for Dorothy but couldn't find one for Robert. I'm still debating whether or not it is worth the gamble!
