Dorothy was said to have been killed in the London Blitz actual date unknown.William remarried in 1949 cited a widower on the marriage certificate.
Dorothy was 29yrs in 1936 her father was Septimus Hardcastle also an Hotel Manager.

Welcome to rootschat

If the son you have mentioned is still living you will have to remove his name from your post  :)

Have you found the family on the 1939 register


OP has stated that the son has passed on(early 1990's).

Do you know whereabouts in the country Dorothy was born?  You may need to order her birth certificate to get an exact date of birth, same for Septimus.

So far am not seeing Dorothy with her father.
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
