Thank you one and all, I think I will base my initial searches on Dorothy and see where it takes me.

Thank you again and good luck with your own personal quests.

My mother-in-law was Dorothy, known as Dolly or just Doll.

I know a lot of people given the name Dolly as a nickname (my mother was Dolly all her life but real name Barbara).

Mostly it is short for Dorothy, but nearly all the Dollys I know have completely different names.
