OK, I've submitted the following mini-bio to IMBD for review:
Gillian Dobb was born on May 8, 1929 in London, England, UK. She was an actress, best known for her role as 'Agatha Chumley' in Magnum, P.I. (1980) and Gidget's Summer Reunion (1985). In 1952 she moved to Australia where she began working with the Canberra Repertory Society as a prompter. Her work took her to Washington, D.C. until 1975 when she moved to Labrador, Canada. In 1959 she met and married an American serviceman from New Jersey who was later stationed in Hawaii. They moved to Honolulu but divorced in 1977. Dobb worked as a legal secretary as well as acting work with the Honolulu Community Theatre and the Hawaii Performing Arts Company. She died on March 31, 2001 in Lancaster, New York, USA.
Ms. Dobb has had a very interesting life from what I've been able to find. There's plenty that I haven't been able to add to her IMDB bio because I can't put it into context. The above was the best I could do.
I've also found out that her ex husband lived in Clark, NV, (Las Vegas) and died in 2008.
She was born in London - no doubt about it. On Dec. 15 1964 she became a US citizen. Her address on her U.S. citizen naturalization petition form is:
212 Avenue "A" East, Barksdale AFB, Louisiana
(her husband was in the USAF, later deployed to Hickam AFB, hence why she ends up in Honolulu)
The actual application was made in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan on March 8, 1961.
Job title: secretary
She married on Dec 12, 1959 in Bayonne, NJ (Marvin Dobb)
Her 1993 Hawaii address were:
2817 Leialoha Ave, Honolulu, HI, 96816
then we have (still in 1993)
41 S Beretania St # 21, Honolulu, HI, 96813-2220
1020 Isenberg St Apt 324, Honolulu, HI, 96826-2937
(note the comment left on Rick Romer's blog, seems to verify one of the above addresses)
according to my records, she was at the following addresses until at least 1999
91-1462 Renton Rd Apt 4, Ewa Beach, HI, 96706-4210
91-1478 Renton Rd Apt 9, Ewa Beach, HI, 96706-4223
I also found this in regards to this address
http://www.eahhousing.org/pages/apartmentdetail/106 - unsure if this is recent development or was also the case back 1996
The problem is I can't find anything from then on, except a partial address
Broadway St, Lancaster, NY 14086
I'm not able to find the original death notice at this stage so this is as far as I got. The above address could be just the place of death.
The other thing which is funny, why was the notice in the obituaries published in The Hamilton Spectator, of all papers?
