Sue said look on your birth certificate, but her reply was she never had one as her parents could not afford such things. Her gravestone does not record her date of birth.

Death Notes
Lily died when Sue Doxey was about 15-6, so about 1968-69.
Sue believes it was about August 1969 (mayby earlier) when Lilly died. The family were away on holiday in Bornemouth for 2 weeks, and her nana passed away on the Wednesday of the first week they were away. Poor Laurie and family only got the new from a neighbour on their return from Bornmouth after Lily had been buried.
Recorded death was Q2-1970, so must have died June or earlier.

Occupancy/Contact Notes
Doxey family lived in Graver Lane, Newton Heath, Manchester.
A big detached house next to the main gates of the big park there named Brookdale Park. Sue's only memory of it was the Hallway. It was a bit like the Bronte Vicarage at Haworth, with rooms either side of the hall. It was demolished by the Council as it also had a big garden and the council wanted it for the park (or so they said).
She lived at
335 Droylsden Road from before 1939.
