Looking for any information on a Dorothy Vigne working at The Bungalow, Lyons Gate, Cerne Abbas in and around 1924.  The owner may have been Mrs Edwards.  Dorothy would have been born in about 1896 but as I cannot find a birth record for a Dorothy Vigne for this time and she was 38 in 1924 this may have been her married name.  Can anyone throw some light on this.

Thanks for looking and any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Janet

The Bungalow Lyons Gate Cerne Abbas - Mrs Edwards 1924? Dorothy Vigne or Walker
« Reply #1 on: Sunday 14 August 05 19:52 BST (UK) »

Does anyone know anything about a Mrs Edwards and the Bungalow at Lyons Gate.  A Dorothy Vigne (or Dorothy Walker) resided there temporarily in 1923/1924 as a house keeper.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hello

You're very patient!

The only reference I can find to "Lyons Gate, Cerne Abbas" is in google.co.uk , where it is a caravan park! Don't forget that bungalows were fairly recent in 1924 - they were based on an idea from the British Raj in India.
I'm sorry but this is all I can find, as I don't live in Dorset.
