Further to your request for information I can confirm that East Renfrewshire Council does not hold any information locally in relation to Dorothy Menellis.

A request was submitted to the Mitchell Library, where records from the former Strathclyde region which pre-dates East Renfrewshire Council are held in archive.  They confirmed on 12 February 2026 that they have conducted a search of their database but unfortunately have not matched an entry to the details provided so far.

They have however advised that there are potential files for the family but they cannot corroborate with the current provided information.  If you are able to provide DOBs or birth order or confirm birth order, they will be able to expand on this search.

If you are dissatisfied with the way in which your request has been dealt with or indeed any other aspect of the Council’s handling of your information, you can ask our Data Protection Officer (DPO) to review the matter on your behalf.  The Council operates an internal review process and would welcome an opportunity to address any dissatisfaction you may have.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). Further information about your information rights can be found on the Information Commissioner’s website at https://ico.org.uk/your-data-matters/
