Title: Dorothy-Offord Andrews
Post by: alanatabz on Wednesday 02 October 19 09:57 BST (UK)

Looking for any info on the following person?

Born 16/11/1918 Dorothy-Offord Andrews, to John and Agnes-John Andrews, Aberdeen. Had a sister called Ruth (listed when Father died in 1961)

Married 1947 (not sure date) to Alexander Milne (little info)

Died 1997 (age 78) Tarves - No date

Basically, it appears she wrote her name on an anti-tank block on a beack near Aberdeen around 1940, so writing a small article on her and perhaps find any surviving son(s)/Daughter(s)

Can anybody add anything?

Thanks Alan

Have you looked for wills for her or husband to see if any children named?

Death certificate?

She is in a (rather large) private tree on Ancestry - worth trying to contact the tree owner?

Added:
She also has a Ruth Ives Andrews, 1923, in her tree, with more information (sourced) about her.
