Dorothy Vera Stone was born in Motcombe, Shaftesbury, Dorset, on 28 Feb 1897 and baptised there on 16 Apr 1901 the daughter of Sidney Edgar Stone and Emiline Lucy Stone (nee Hann). She lived her early life and at various times thereafter in Bittles Green, Motcombe. The family have advised that she served as a VAD at some time during the war but no Red Cross record has been found to date. She married Lemual Godfrey, MM, in Motcombe, Dorset, on 2 Dec 1918 and they had set up home in 6 Church Lane, Shaftesbury, Dorset, by the time of the 1921 Census. The 1939 Register shows her living at 'Windyridge' Bittles Green, Motcombe, working as a Clerk in a Milk Factory (her husband was away on military duties - see his record elsewhere on this website). She died in Somerset in Jan 1992 and was buried in Bath, Somerset, on 16 Jan 1992.
