Mrs, Dodd's brother was in the Merchant Navy and was leaving soon, for Canada and his family wished to know more about the country to which he was going and so, Ernest Duckworth, Jacqueline's (Mrs, Dodd's) father brought home a Canadian serviceman whom he had met, to gain the desired infor- mation. - Mr. and Mrs. Dodd were 'married on January 12, 1946.
