Looks like Dorothy died soon after birth as the death is registered in the same quarter. That's why you thought there were only 3 girls.

better have a fag now, not a virgin anymaore, done it yesssss.

Does your mum know she had a baby sister who didn't survive?

What exactly is the mystery with Arthur and/or Catherine?

I think she was aware there could have been another sister but was unsure. Until about a month ago my mum didnt know anything about her mums family, then we discovered francis and a little has taken off from there, and daily we have a got a bit more, it was only one of your colleague directed me to look throught the cencus's for Kate instead of catherine. I had there marriage cert only but now I have her birth cert as well. Then I found she had been shipped out to live with her brother, but now I think it was because her father died. But I have been trying to find his birth cert.
not as interesting as cosby-rouse saga is it?

can you get military service records like you can get certs?
