Hi Shirley,
I have a copy of Doris’s birth certificate, it’s a bit confusing
It says she was born 27/09/1911
Name Doris Brentley
Fathers name William Riley Hawthorne
Mothers name Isabella Hawthorne late Brentley

It seems to say she gave her the middle name Brentley?

As for Isabella and William’s marriage it seems Doris was born around the same time

It looks like they did give Doris a second name of Brentley

She is listed as surname Hawthorne on the GRO listing

I noted the marriage and birth were very close in time

Wonder if in fact she was born prior to the marriage and her father is named but they gave her mums actual surmane at the time

One can only wonder what the thinking was at the time
