Dora Gilby (born Brookes)<br>Gender: Female<br>Birth: Aug 3 1903 - Carbrook, Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom<br>Death: Oct 1999 - Rugby, Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom<br>Parents: <a>Walter Brookes</a>, <a>Annie Brookes (born Beek or Belk)</a><br>Husband: <a>Stanley Ward Gilby</a><br> Additional information: LifeSketch:No children Stan & Dora lived in Hempstead Road, Watford, Hertfordshire, UK for many years. Bought new on the NW edge of Watford. When we visited as children, it was definitely a case of being seen but not heard. Occasional games in the garden but it was not until she moved into a retirement home, did i even venture upstairs (aged 35+). After Stan died, she remained in the marital home with a live in carer. Joined in some family events, but generally on the periphery, very much as they had been thoughout their married lives. Visits, but not stays, etc. Came to Linda Carr & Peter Browne's wedding in Lincoln & I recall a scary drive in the snow to take her home. One evening, I (great nephew) received a call to say that she was home alone having found the carer dead on the upstairs landing. My father (Alan Norman Gilby) who managed most of her affairs was not contactable. Neighbours stayed with her overnight & I went down the following morning. She was transferred to a residential care home in Rugby, to be near Alan. As this was so much nearer to all of the other great nephews and nieces (and all our children), she reunited with the wider family more there than in Watford.
