Yes this is the one. Are there any family details about her?

Many thanks Martin

Penny

Penny Report 13 Jun 2010 20:48

you need to know her fathers name, which will be on the cert ( which you have to buy, one-one can 'see' it)

I think Doris was born in Birmingham in 1909 so I pressume she would show up on the 1911 Census.

Births Mar 1909 (>99%)
O'Connor Doris Aston 6d 305

Well, it's not so bad - if you get the cert you should find her parents at least. But the marriage cert. is safer.
