Some thoughts:

1. Have you tried searching the full GRO index for a birth, rather than freebmd?

2. Have you worked through all JEFFREY entries in case Doris was her second name - e.g. was she registered as Mabel Doris, or whatever?

3. Do you have a birth certifiacate for any of her siblings? If so, have you seached for Doris's birth under her mother's maiden name? (Were her parents married at the time of her birth?).

4. 3 in 1935 suggests a birth registered in 1932 - have you also tried early 1933?

5. Was she adopted?

6. Have you tried searching under JEFFERY and JEFFERIES/JEFFRIES?

Hi lindylou270,

Do you know the maiden name of her mother - that is, your grandmother? If you do, this will help the forum detectives to track down a possible birth.
