Hi greyghost.
All I know is Dorothy went to Quetta India as a childrens nurse in 1939 and married George Nicholls in quetta in March 1940.
Did she follow him or meet him there I do not know.
Regards Malcolm.

Hi Chris. The community have provided a lot of information which I need to sift through and try to sort out, who is who.
And if any of these are related.
Regards Malcolm.

I think Chris does have the correct family (Father married as James DOOLAN to Elizabeth Esther Bowles- but name varied from Dolan to Doolan):
DOB for Elizabeth matches her DOB on the 1939 register:
National School Admission Registers & Log-books 1870-1914 Transcription
First name(s) Elizabeth Last name Dolan Birth date 02 May 1902 Event year 1907 School name Exton and Corhampton Endowed School Town Exton County Hampshire Country England Parent name(s) James Book type Admissions -----------------------
I suspect she lied with the age on her first marriage to avoid consent from parents. Her age on second marriage, 1939 register and death certificate all match this 1902 birth.
DOLAN, ELIZABETH ESTHER MARY (Mother's maiden name: BOWLES ) GRO Reference: 1902 J Quarter in CHRISTCHURCH Volume 02B Page 667 --------------------------
Elizabeth was also recorded at Warnford Board/Council School along with James Dolan b 1 April 1901 Dora Dolan b 14 Jan 1900 ------------------------------------------
Elizabeth's baptism:
Elizabeth Esther Mary Dolan Gender Female Baptism date 16 Jul 1902 Residence Bentworth, Hampshire, England County Hampshire Country England Father's first name(s) James Father's last name Dolan Mother's first name(s) Elizabeth Esther

If above info is proven to be correct... The 4yr old niece can be positively identified. Her name was: Esther Alice Mabel Mary Emery
Born on 9 May 1887 iat 3 Union Place, Rathmines, South Dublin Her parents were: George Emery and Alice Bowles
Which suggests that Alice Bowles was the sister of Elizabeth Bowles who married James Doolan
The child's father was also a soldier. He was an Acting Bombardier in the Royal Horse Artilliery (RHA)
