Hi

I am trying to find out some information regarding one of Archibalds sisters Dorothy Rhoda Mary. My great Aunt believes that my 3x great grandparents adopted her around 1906 or there abouts. i have found much information on Archibald himself and his parents but nothing about Dorothy. My great Aunt thinks Mary married a Professor Organ

Why was she adopted as her mother Mabel Hill did not die until 1956 and lived near Archibald in England

My 3x great grandparents were Fred Chadwick and Emma Burke, came from Chorlton, Manchester adn later moved to Wrexham

Any information or help would be greatly appreciated

Hi

Archibald McIndoe was famous and his parents quite wealthy. Don't have any other information other than what i have already mentioned. Dorothy Rhoda Mary is one person. (if her middle names are correct, I'm surprised my great Aunt remembers as she is nearly 80!)

I can't understand the adoption unless Mabel was really her grandmother (an illagitamate child maybe)

thanks for the reply

Amy

Is this 2013 request anything to do with the original 2009 request involving the McIndoe relatives?

Deaths Jun 1904

CHADWICK Joseph 37 Chorlton 8c 484

So when did they move to Wrexham?
I presume it must be the same family as the 2009 post since the lady's name is pretty unique.
The original 2009 post doesn't make much sense to me, however.... :-S

Nor me.

The only famous Archibald and John McIndoe I can find were born in New Zealand.

Although there is an Archibald McIndoe that fits in around that time:
Births Mar 1894 McIndoe Archibald Alexander Toxteth Park 8b 181

1901 England Census
Name: Archibald A McIndoe
Age: 7
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1894
Relation: Son
Father's Name: Archibald McIndoe
Mother's Name: Hannah McIndoe
Gender: Male
Where born: Liverpool, Lancashire, England
Civil Parish: Toxteth Park
Ecclesiastical parish: All Saints
County/Island: Lancashire
Country: England
Street Address:
Occupation:
Registration District: Toxteth Park
Sub-registration District: Toxteth Park
Piece: 3437
Folio: 11
Page Number: 14
Household Members: Name Age
Archibald McIndoe 38
Hannah McIndoe 39
Lillie E McIndoe 16
Frandk McIndoe 10
Archibald A McIndoe 7
James H McIndoe 10 Months

But this seems to be the parents:
Marriages Dec 1882
McIndoe Archibald Birkenhead 8a 729
PRITCHARD Hannah Birkenhead 8a 729

So I can't see where the Chadwicks fit in although Christina Mary (Jane) doesn't mention them.

She does, in passing.
At 18.19 Mike posted Dorothy R M Chadwick's marriage to Donald Organ, and Christine replied 'thanks, I already had that',

But where does this fit in with McIndoe and Mabel Hill????

How old was she when she died and does it tie in with her age on marriage certs ?

It would be nice to know how Amy, the original poster, knew about the mother's name, Mabel Hill. Also that Dorothy was a sister to Archibald McIndoe.
