Frances Mary Dodd (nee Wooldridge) (c.1890 – 24 November 1919)
Frances was born in Winchester. She was the daughter of Charles Sylvester and Annette Wooldridge, and grew up at 9 Clifton Terrace in Winchester. Her father was a solicitor there. She married Rev Rowland Pocock Dodd in Winchester in 1918 when she was 28 years old.
She died the following year at the nursing home in Thompson’s Lane, Cambridge. She had been living at 2 Petty Cury, and it would appear that the Rev. Rowland Dodd’s work was connected to the University at the time. She left effects valued at £137, 8s and 2d.
Her husband Rowland Dodd, remarried in 1926 to Leila Kathleen Rowlinson. He became vicar of Northwich in Cheshire, and he and Leila had a son: Charles Nathaniel Dodd. Leila and Rowland Dodd returned to Cambridge after his retirement, and lived at 82 Arbury Road. She died there in 1966, and he in 1975 at the age of 88 years old.
