[Marian Gray]

Hi Edward, The only lady I can match with the initials given earlier is Beatrice Maud Docker nee Llewellyn. She married William H.
Docker in Cardiff 1917. Below is the 1939 Register from FMP:

The original document is quite hard to read and unfortunately too big a file to load on here.

All residing at: looks like, "Cromerty?" Cardiff Road, Pontypridd, Pontypridd U.D., Glamorganshire, Wales.

Beatrice, died 1962.

William in 1967.

And their son Rex 1997.

They had a daughter too, Audrey Letitia Docker b 1917-1991, living at 71, Knoll Avenue, Swansea, Glamorganshire, Wales.

Very many thanks for taking the time to provide such a full response to my query. I now know why 43-year-old Beatrice Docker did not get the same publicity as 20-year-old Florence Roberts

I missed this post somehow, Here's a mystery. I was n the Baron Elibank in 1952, and have had her picture on my Comp for years, but now I think it is the wrong one as it looks the same as the one Graham has put up. The ships no I have is168364.

So Des
168364 was Shell tanker NARANIO 1943-1961.... LINK-incl.photo

168964 was cargo vessel BARON ELIBANK from 1946-1959 (blt 43 as Empire Ransom)....LINK-incl.photo of her as the later Armenistes
Has this solved it?
Cheers

For Des:The subject of this article,the ss SEVEN SEAS SPRAY was an earlier BARON ELIBANK (141938) built 1919 as the GLASSFORD,then with Baron Line as BARON ELIBANK from 1923-1934,then becoming SEVEN SEAS SPRAY. A bit before your time Des! Your BARON ELIBANK (168964)was built in 1946.

HI Graham.
Jees got an appointment with the optometrist next month, I just had another look you are right I had the wrong number, but must have made a mistake years ago with the ship. Thanks mate. I will have to put that one in its place.

Yes Des, what would we do without Specsavers?
Though I do not use them, use OPSM, find them far better.
