Found these maybe your Doris

Name:   Doris Walklate
Arrival Age:   26
Birth Date:   abt 1921
Port of Departure:   Port Said, Egypt
Arrival Date:   14 Jun 1947
Port of Arrival:   Liverpool, England
Ports of Voyage:   Port Said; Piraeus and Malta
Ship Name:   Empress of Australia
Shipping Line:   Canadian Pacific Line


Another marriage ? Not put husband's name in just in case he was younger and therefore still alive

Name:   Doris Walklate
Registration Date:   Jul 1950

Registration Quarter:   Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district:   Newcastle under Lyme
Inferred County:   Staffordshire

Volume Number:   9b
Page Number:   886


Looking at the link to Findagrave by BumbleB, just above your post (or below depending how you've set up your PC), the grave shows both Wilfred(Wilfrid)'s death and also Doris's so it would seem she didn't re-marry.

I don’t think an open verdict at an inquest is the same as open case. By my understanding it just means that there is insufficient evidence to determine what happened and that there are suspicious circumstances.  I believe an open case is one in which there is still an active investigation by the police. I very much doubt this would be the case unless new information has come to light.
I think you need to look at some local newspapers as mentioned by earlier posters, I would imagine they would have a lot more information.

Yes you are right! Open Verdict.

Thank you :)

Hello! Ooh interesting, my nana is an Oakes and it starts from her all the way to 1660 from what i've been able to find! But yes, the majority of mine are from Over / Winsford too. I've checked and I think we definitely have a match! I've just found Ralph and Mary and there never ending list of children! :D haha.

The child, Thomas Oakes 1962 who married Mary Cawley 1960 is my line of Oakes. It's abit confusing though as I think Mary also married Thomas's brother, William?! I'll have to check again, I heard the story ages ago.

Please feel free to message me anytime if you'd like to go over history! :)
