KENNETH DOOUSS West Ham London Grocer

[mickied4]

Any information concerning Kenneth Doouss, believed to have had a son, also Kenneth, and 2 daughters, one nicknamed Barley and the other Kitty, gratefully received. The young Kenneth, born about 1894-1898, may have received a scholarship to study medicine at Barts Hospital in the early part of 20th century, which organisation? Where was he at school?
 Interested in where the family lived in West Ham, and before that, and earlier ancestors and country of origin., as unusual surname.There was talk of the older Kenneth, having 2 brothers who emigrated to USA for a Silver or Gold Rush. Also Plymouth Bretheren?? May well be a Welsh connection with older Kenneth's family.
Thanks
