Other than the WW2 death that Flick found there are no other deaths in WW2 for a John Dobbie, and that includes civilians, listed on the CWGC site
So not sure if he would be named on a memorial in London, unlikeley i would have thought.

Dobbie Eileen A McTigue Liverpool S. 8b 124

Right - but there's still no marriage that I can see - which would fit with them not being free to do so

i think it is stuart

ok thank you flick for you help

IF this is his death - what does the 'S' stand for?

Name: John S Dobbie
Death Registration Month/Year: 1940
Age at death (estimated): 61
Registration district: Liverpool South
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8b
Page: 516

no mctigue was her maiden name baker was her married name, she was abandoned by her husband

The one I posted is the ONLY John Dobbie on the CWGC site for WW2

i have been told that he is on a memorial wall in london

No births for Dobbie/Baker - so, unless Baker was not her maiden name, they didn't marry

EDIT - No marriage for Dobbie/Baker - the first wife was probably abandoned, as if she'd died there would have been no obstacle to a marriage

this is my nans dad john dobbie as i said before he was married before he was with my nans mum, i only knew of son john from my nan but i was told the recently about another 2 lilly and maggie. i dont know what happened if his first wife died or divorced but he had my nan to a norah baker in nov 1928 they had three children together he died around 1939 1940 sorry if im confusing you!

Is this the son?
