Plenty of U.K newspapers mentioning Dr. Marjorie Harcourt. Don't know when she turned legal, perhaps enough to represent herself?

Marjorie Averyl must have been very young when she had Anthony
Appears she was born approx 1879 and Anthony was born 1893. She would have been 14 give or take.

 

[gibbo]

Ok so thanks to Rupert we have the Australian side of things sorted.

I have been looking for a birth for Anthony under a mixture of names and places and still cant find one.

 

[gibbo]

Marjorie was in Scotland in 1901. She was named Marjorie Duake - Cohen.

Can she be found on the 1901 census?

Post #43 on here by Rupert connects Duake - Cohen and Harcourt as one person.

Found Averyl's arrival. So sometime between 1906 and 1908 she changed her surname. Wonder why

Greetings! WOW! A little more history on Anthony Snider Dowling. Is sent from India to St Lawrence, Jersey, Oxenford House [boarding school for boys 1901. Oxenford House is run by the Daveys family [owned the endeavour] Miss Ellen Davey marries a teacher at the school name of Frank Stenton Eardley, they have 3 daughters. They sort of adopt Anthony and called him uncle Tony. Frank becomes a Minister of the church of England and I believe was posted to Ashbrittle, Wellington, Bristol during 1901 - 1909. I have met with grand children and they remember Tony walking with the in the garden but have no knowledge of his history. Regards Eardley Dowling
