I finally found her baptism record!! Dorothy used a variety of birth years during her life, much to her descendants' confusion. She was baptized 19 Sep 1875 in Egham.

This year as her birth year agrees with her ages in her earliest records, the 1881 England Census, and her age on the 1885 passenger list when she immigrated to the U.S.

Her parents were Edward Davies and Anna Thomas.

She immigrated to New York with her parents and two brothers William Richard Davies and Owen John Davies in 1885.

She married in Ohio in 1902 to Glenn H Abell who died in 1906. They had two children - Stanley Glenn Abell and Arlene Dorothy Margaret Abell.

She married secondly, in Michigan in 1907 to Byron Wrisley and divorced in the 1920's.
