Hi listers

I would like to find out more about Barbara (Kitty) Doidge who was born in Plymouth in Quarter March 1908 and her parents were John E T Doidge of Plymouth and Kitty Dashper.

I found out that Barbara Doidge was the winner of the beauty contest and won the prize of 500 pounds I think. It helped with the spending of her wedding! I am not sure when she won the contest. I would like to ask you if it is possible for you to look up for the local newspaper to find the article about her and the beauty contest. Possibly with Plymouth newspapers. I am aware that Barbara was married to Arthur C Lewis in Quarter March 1931 at Plymouth and so maybe the contest would be before that year.

I cant find the death of Barbara and I would be grateful if you would look up for her death.

Any information is very welcome.

Thank you.


Angela
