Hi,
I'm trying to trace, for a friend, the family of Doreen Freda PEACOCK, born 1916, birth registered in Wandsworth (Doreen's mother's maiden name was Holland).

Doreen married in 1935 and her married name was BAYLIS but this marriage broke up a few years later. There was also a connection with the surname of ROWLATT and a child born in Bath in 1945.

If any of this is familiar to you or you know of someone who may have been related to Doreen, I would love to hear from you so I can help my friend.

Thank you!

Rupert Waterhouse qualified at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in 1897. In 1901 he moved to Bath became a physician at the Royal United Hospital and the Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases and died in 1958.
In the 1901 census, John H Waterhouse age 70 and Lucy age 65 are living in Maltby, Yorkshire, and John died in Scarborough in the Sept quarter 1909
