I would suggest you get Dorothys birth certificate, that may not be so easy though, could be any one of these

Births Sep 1905 Marsh Dorothy May Dover 2a 1161

Births Dec 1905 Marsh Dorothy Margot Dover 2a 1104

Births Sep 1906 Marsh Dorothy May Dover 2a 1135

just hope her middle name is Margot!!!!!!

That'll give mothers maiden name, which will enable you to fond out more about Emily.

The name of my husbands grandmother is Dorothy Marsh, the daughter of William & Emily, the name Blewitt came from my husbands aunt because that was her name for Emily- Granny Blewitt - thanks to all so far for helping :) xx
