Find Ancestors

Lilian would have been the sister of my father, Arthur Docking b 1902. The only trace I can find is the 1901 census where she is shown as living with her grandparents, John and Elizabeth Darnell. My grandparents, her mother and father , were William and Sophie Docking, They had my fathers brothers, William and Bertie, with them in Soham in 1901.
I cannot find any other reference to Lilian and my only living relation does not remember any talk of her.

I had not heard of Lilian prior to today. My parents died when I was young. My father's mother was Sophie (Sophia) Docking nee Darnell.

Well Glitterbaby you seem to have solved problem. Will have to see where the Peacocks fit into my ancestors. I have checked Dockings quite thoroughly with no trace of Peacock. Might be on Darnell side. That side has been difficult because my gmother Sophia Darnell was born as Sophia Seal.
