I am starting to think, yes Thomas Humphrey might have been Dorothys father but who says that her mum Rose Blackman actually married him.

Its weird none of them can be found on the 1911,

It will be the Godstone birth.

It seems a funny place to be born, in farm buildings.

Could they have been travellers/gypsies?

Where were they in 1911 can anyone find them or even one of them?

Their surname has probably been mistranscribed?

Thanks all for your input,
