The address on the census is indeed called "14 alpine road and 37 new zealand road stockport" - probably a corner house.
There are several Doris Turners in Stockport. If yours was born in Oct 1898 then she wouldn't be age 3 yet ... What are the details from the birth cert?

Oh wait - don't need the info. Your family is Doris age 2 with parents George and Emma, still at Hempshaw Lane. Don't forget the census don't give birth years but ages at last birthday

The two addresses for one house could mean it was on a corner.
My great nan had a house with two front doors, one in each road that was the corner house of a terrace. Some mail was addressed to one door the rest to the other.
