Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me ?
I have a photograph of Dorothy Hilda Clive born 10th Oct 1908 Market Drayton could anyone tell me who her parents were or family ?
I believe they were Harry Clive 1880 -1963 and Dorothy H Clive 1883-1942 but I have no proof just an educated guess as she came from a well to do family and took flying lessons
