That is what I am hunting around for - trying to trace each person as far as i can.
What else do you have - to save duplication?

Have you found May, age 4 ish in 1891, I have not been successful in that.
What else does it say on the birth cert about May's parents?

on the face of it, Mary Golden appears to be a local lass from Bingley - we do not know what she did or where she went between 1891 and 1901 but she is still living in the Main Street and doing her worsted spinning.
So it looks, maybe, that it was young May that came to her.

Do we have a death for Mr Golden, or a whereabouts for him in 1901? Mary says married, but he is not with her. When/where did she marry Mr G? What does he do for a living? Maybe if he travelled in his job he came across May needing a home and brought her back to Bingley.

in the 1891 census they are down as doharty

 patrick 47
elizabeth 32
albert g 8
currie p 7 (i think this is cyril p)
floris r 5
may a 4
lilly s 2
easter e 1
casey mcgrimes 39

 my joseph sidney wasnt born till 1894 it is hes birt cert i have also the marriage cert for parents.

[lizdb]

So - IF this is the same MAy Doherty - any "adoption" must have taken place after 1891 and before 1901. And what is more, you know her parents were still alive and well in 1894.

Have you traced the Doherty family after 1891?

The ref for anyone else looking is RG12 3172 8 10
Image certainly looks like Currie!
PAtrick and Eliz are born Ireland.
Eldest 2 children, ALbert and Currie are bn Bradford
Rest of children bn Gorton

living at Gorton Brook Str, Gorton

 i cannot find a birth or death for lilly s and currie p but i did find a death for cyril patrick in 1906 age 11 in the right area. there is a birth for albert gregory,may alberta, floris rose and easter eve. I know albert and may did get to adulthood as joseph sidney seen them and albert was supposed to be working for fair people called lewis, i have also found a marriage for may a and floris r in the dec Q 1915 so could of got married on the same day. patrick dohertys father was john engineer deceased and elizabeth obriens father was gregory deceased plasterer.
