    Default Dorothy Aimee Casson

    Hello,
    I am trying to find the spouse and children of the above lady
    She was daughter of Henry casson and rennee braithwaite who died in 1917. She was then pwrt of the family after he remarried Olive Boys and went to S Rhodesia(Zimbabwe) with her half brothers John Casson (Awarded the CGM after death in Italy in the war) and william harry casson (killed returning from a bombing raid to Turin in the war).
    She was thus the only remaining child.
    She married a man called Franklin in Salisbury in the late 1940's
    They had two children I am trying to contact as I intend to visit the War Cemetery in Italy to pay respects to John Casson and I thought they might like to know about their half cousin.
    My wife is daughter of brother of Henry Casson
    anyone can help?
    Also where is Henry Casson buried and also Olive Casson Nee Boys
    Thank you
    John

    Cannot see marraige or children's births. Did she marry in Zimbabwe,children born there? Where did you get husbands name from?

    Do you have birth dates for children?


    I can see Dorothy travelled back to the UK a couple of times during the 1930s giving a UK address 'The Cottage,Seascale'

    Hello,
    We have a photograph of what we take to be her marriage in ?? 1948 and also her and two children who look to be about 12 and 10 in 1961 taken in Salisbury Rhodesia. There is an inscription on the memorial of her mother in Gosforth Churchyard of her death in 26th June 2014 (near Seascale) giving her married name. Other than that-nothing

    Cannot see anything else other than the travelling back & forth.
    Another member may have more luck.
