I can find Dora's birth in Hartlepool in 1896.

Alfred Chivers born in Bath Q4 1869. Is that the right one ?

Do you think she married Mr Irvine before or after this ?
Any idea of a date for Helen's birth ?

I'm not seeing any marriage for any McLean to an Irvine?
Checked 1885 (when Elizabeth would have been 13!) to 1900.

Elizabeth had a second child that died. I can't find one called Helen that would be in the right area/ time.

Can I ask what information you have that Elizabeth married Mr Irvine?

The marriage certificate of her marriage to Alfred will tell you if she was a spinster, or a widow.

There wasn't a census in 1939.  ;)
It was the 1939 National Register - initially used to give everyone an Identity Card, and then Ration Books.
Later used by the NHS as their Central Register, and updated by them into the 1990s.

A census was a snapshot of who was where at midnight on a specified date.

Thank you for the information.The person who I am looking for now is Alfreds daughter Dora Gertrude May Chivers/Jackson.Her husband was on the 1939 register with Alfred,but she was missing with their 2 children,Newby b.1934 and Andrew b.1934.Now that I know it was a register and not a census,I wonder if they were sent away to a safer place?I had thought that the Name Newby would be unusual so easy to trace,thank you for your time,Tom

Have you tried using Dora’s dob 2 5 1896 as per her death in 1982?

Do you know the dob of the sons? It might be that their names are redacted

Do you know if the two children you have named have died, if not you should modify your post to remove their names.

I can’t see a birth entry for the second name you give on FreeBMD  :-\

There are two Jackson mmn Chivers birth entries in Hartlepool 1934 & 1936.

GRO indexes give the middle name Mclean for birth in 1934

Edit to add

a possible death Sept qtr Hartlepool 1936 for birth Jun qtr Hartlepool 1936
