By 1911 census Doris is with her widowed mother Annie and 2 siblings living at 3 Garth Court Cardiff
The 1901 census has mother Annie and eldest son Joseph (Allan) living with her parents at 27, Dogfield Street, Roath.

Is the mother listed on an E/W marriage record? - that would be highly unusual.
I believe the mother to be Annie Beatrice h Myers. Look for marriages on FreeBMD Mitchell / Myers cardiff district
Your information may be incorrect. Doris Catherine Mitchell's mother's maiden name was Myers. Other births registered in Cardiff with that MMN were:
Joseph Wilfred Allen Mitchell (1900)
Dorothy Phyllis Mitchell (1907)
This family (including Doris, aged 5, and mother Annie, 41, a widow) were living at 3 Garth Court, Cardiff in the 1911 census.
On the 1911 census, the householders schedules go up to no 18 Maughan terrace. Can't find a 5 year old Doris at any of the houses in this street.
There was also a Maughan Street, now Queen’s Road. Move the slider to reveal the modern map:

Here's Maughan Terrace on a 1956 OS map, with house numbers; but they only go up to 17, are you sure about the 47?

I searched in newspapers for the highest number shown on the map, 17, which I can imagine being misread as 47 in some handwriting, and there are hits starting in 1885. When was the census?
