I met Dorothea while on a bus trip through Iran and Afghanistan in 1979.

I was just 24 years old at the time. She was 73! A few things happened in which I was able to help her and she was able to help me. I was surprised to see her mentioned in Wikipedia, and to learn about her very colourful life. DavidInSydney (talk) 02:27, 23 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

birthyear vs marriage age

edit

Her birthdate is give as "5 April 1905" and later is told "Briggsy became Countess Gravina when she married the Count Gravina, by then a widower, in Buckingham on 16 May 1933, when she was 20.[4]"
If the birthdate is right, she was 28, not 20. There is no source for the birthdate. The latter info's source [4] is listed as ""FreeBMD Home Page". www.freebmd.org.uk." and that is what it is: "FreeBMD Home Page" and nothing about Dorothea Gravina. So could not check if they are correct (or if the claimed age 20 was there). 86.115.95.131 (talk) 10:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
