Hello,
It is very interesting to stumble across this thread - we also have a family member who has the mother's name of Dorothy Elizabeth Carroll on his birth certificate. He was born in the Nottingham area in 1935 (no father's name on the birth certificate) and was adopted. We have not been able to find any further information or family connections so far.
Our research has led us to the possibility that this is also the same Elizabeth Dorothy that married James Brett so it is very interesting that you have also made this suggestion!!
And Maria, if this is the case then there is a possibility we may all be related?!
It could all be a coincidence but if there is a chance that we are talking about the same person, it would be extremely interesting to talk further - perhaps we might be able to share some information.
Judy/Alan/Maria, it would be fascinating to discuss this further, would you mind getting in touch via email please (I am not able to PM yet)?
My email address is
(*)I really hope that someone sees this message and we are able to connect.
Our grandad is now around 84 and has never known any of his real family so even the smallest link would be interesting to explore
Many thanks,
Hattie and Grace
