Hello Dawnsay

Welcome to Rootschat 

Are you sure that's how her surname was spelt?

I have just looked through the birth registers for 1931 and 1932 but cannot find her. Do you know what her mothers maiden name would be?

Could it be that her birth was registered under her mothers maiden name and not Jeffrey?

Regards

Carol

I cant see her either,    .....as Carol says this name can be spelt so many ways, I have searched for Jeffries before

Hi Carol

Glad I aint the only one that didnt find her in them years even tried the 1933. Only problem is there are so many ways to spell Jeffrey, and I knows that from the wifes family tree

Crikey Ricky you ain't joking!!!

There IS a Doris M Jeffries with a mmn of Fair born in Birmingham in Dec 1931.

Ref 6d page 742 if you think it's any good.

Maybe the registrar was deaf

Hi Carol

This lady died in Thame which in Oxfordshire.

We haven't proved where she was born yet.......hope Dawnsay finds this post and comes back to us soon.

I have Thame PRs on CD from Oxon FHS but the baptisms only go up to 1930 - so no Doris.

However, there is this baptism from 1928 which looks like Doris's older brother:

Baptised 14 Oct 1928 Francis Edward born Aug 18, s/o Frederick James and Winifred Louisa, plasterer, 50 High Street, Headington, Oxford. Godp: Parents, Daisy Eliza Tipple.

Not sure why they would have him baptised in Thame when they lived in Headington? Perhaps that's where Doris was baptised?

Hi Jill

If that is the correct older brother then the surname WAS spelt JEFFREY and the mmn was Claridge.

Off to find any other baby born with that MMN
