It will help others to help you if you say what sources you already checked. Also, you have accidentally listed two names as "nee," which confuses matters - which one is the maiden name?

Even though you have not developed viable threads, you need to tell people where you already looked in order for them to know what else to suggest. Also, do you know when and where any of these people were born or attended school? Occupations? Military service? Their parents or grandparents' names or dates?

I found that a Margaret E. Carlin married a Lech Jankowski in the Spring quarter of 1952 in Liverpool South, Lancashire, England. In the same location during the Spring quarter of 1958, a Margaret E. Jankowski married a Thomas J. Dobrinski.

This may be her husband's obituary:

News Tribune, The (Tacoma, WA) - Saturday, November 29, 2008
Sgt. Thomas J. Dobrinski 05/02/22 - 11/19/08 We say farewell to our beloved "Ski" and know that he will be missed on a daily basis. His infectious smile, big bear hugs and involvement and care he took in everyone's affairs will leave a hole in our hearts for friends and family alike. Ski met and married his sweetheart while overseas during WWII. He and the love of his life, Meg, raised a family in Edgewood, Washington where they enjoyed the friendship of close neighbors. After nearly 50 years of marriage, Ski and Meg made a home at Patriots Landing for the past three years and he was adored by his friends and living companions there, as well as the staff that have cared for them both. Ski will be missed by his surviving wife, his sisters (Jean, Betty and Phyllis,) his children (Helen, Steve, Tom and their spouses whom he always treated like his own kids.) Grandpa Ski will continue to be loved and remembered by all of his grandchildren and his great-grandchild. Blue skies ahead Sarge...we love you! A celebration of Ski's life will be held at Patriots Landing on Sunday, December 14th from 1-3 where his family and dear friends can gather to remember the full life Ski enjoyed.

That was her husband. Here's her obituary:

News Tribune, The (Tacoma, WA) - Sunday, August 2, 2009
Margaret E Dobrinski Margaret "Meg" Dobrinski was reunited in heaven with her husband "Ski" on July 2, 2009. Meg battled the final stages of Alzheimer's disease with the help of her loving family, many friends, and caring attendants at Patriots Landing. During her life, Meg spent her childhood in Liverpool, England and then in the late 1950s moved to the United States with her cherished daughter, Helen, and her devoted husband. They had two more children, Steve and Tom, and raised their family in the company of good neighbors in Edgewood, Washington. Meg enjoyed reading the newspaper, seeing a compelling film and debating politics. Meg's smile and quick wit will be remembered forever by her surviving children and their spouses; Helen (Terry), Steve (Nicole) and Tom (Erin). Her grandchildren will hold dear the memories of her making them finger-noodles and soldiers at a moments notice. Meg's generosity will be fondly remembered by her step-grand children and great grandchild as well. You will be sorely missed, Mom, but we know that you and dad are in your matching recliners watching over us all. We love you!
