Dorothy Maud Jones
« on: Wednesday 19 September 18 16:01 BST (UK) »
Born 11/3/1919 possibly West Ham. Her mother was given as Clayton on her birth certificate. She was brought up by Gertie Jones but I believe she was the child of Gertie's sister Dorothy Kate Clayton and my grandfather Douglas Thomas Lowe. Does anyone have any information on this please?

Billericay Registration District doesn't cover West Ham.  The birth cert will give you a better idea of where she was born.  Have you actually got the cert?
Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Hold on ….. someone born illegitimately to a Clayton (and a Lowe) but then brought up by a Jones would not be registered with the surname Jones - that name entered the equation after their birth! They would be Clayton, unless Mr Lowe was there at the registration and is named as father.

No birth reg for a Dorothy M Clayton in 1919 though.

Edmonds/Edmunds - mainly Sussex
DeBoo - London
Green - Suffolk
Parker - Sussex
Kemp - Essex
Farrington - Essex
Boniface - West Sussex

Dorothy was registered as Jones but her mother's name was given as Clayton so she could be an illegitimate daughter of Gertie. Gertie had 4 sons and her husband was killed in WW1. The family think Dorothy was the daughter of Dorothy Kate Clayton, her sister, and Douglas Lowe who were married in 1915 but living apart by 1920. I don't have the birth certificate as this is just initial branching out from my original Lowe family search because I picked up this first marriage of my grandfather and a link came up to Dorothy's grandson which now seems to have closed!
