I know of the surname(s) in my own specialist niche because of William Selby Lowndes, owner of Whaddon Hall in Buckinghamshire in the mid-nineteenth century, and owner of the land at Whaddon Chase on which the largest ever hoard of Iron Age coins was found in 1849. I assume that Dorothy was a descendant of this family, and I wonder if William Selby Lowndes at the lawyers mentioned above has more information about her?Philip de Jerseynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6740569507462865624.post-9633571456883923852015-06-28T04:58:47.552-07:002015-06-28T04:58:47.552-07:00Thanks for these contributions.If you Google Dolf/...Thanks for these contributions.If you Google Dolf/Dolph you'll find that most, if not all, of the real-life people with this name are male. The matter is complicated by such anomalies as the fact that the spelling of some names ( ie Robin, Evelyn)is the same for a male as for a female. It should be possible to come to a conclusion on all this. Meanwhile keeping Jotting. I am presently adding to my knowledge of Ms Lowndes' domestic arrangements at Oldmixon.
