Sumal,
Thanks for your action in this regard. About ACD's
daughter. Her full name was Dame Jean Conan Doyle. She
died in London on 18 November 1997, aged 84.
Below is an extract from one of the articles on her.
Within a single lifetime, Jean Conan Doyle inhabited a number of
incarnations. To her devoted father she was "Billy," a feisty little
tomboy who managed to hold her own with two older brothers. To the
RAF she was an invaluable leader during World War II, later rising to
Air Commandant and Director of the WRAF - the highest achievable
post. To our Queen she was Aide de Camp, a lady of great merit and a
valued companion. To many friends she was Lady Bromet, the adored and
adoring wife of Sir Geoffrey. To certain would-be authors and
publishers she personified the Dragon Lady, their only obstacle to
untold riches. To many Sherlockians she was Dame Jean, the last link
to the bygone age of her father and his creations.
The best record I came across on her connection with ACD is
found at this URL which has a charming interview with
her. http://www.ash-tree.bc.ca/acdsjcd.htm
