I'm looking for confirmation of the name of Doris Jones born 28 February 1904 in Bedwas.
Her father was
George Jones and her Mother was Ann Arabella James.
My query is related to if she had the middle name of Louisa?
I've just seen her name with this middle name listed in someone else's tree on ancestry but they had no supporting documentation attached.
She is my great grand mother and my mum grew up thinking her name was Louise because she heard her grandfather call her that, hence why my middle name Is Louise.
I've not found anything online to support this and after her death my mother mentioned it to her mum (daughter of Doris) as she obviously had a funeral for Doris and not Louise as my mum thought her name was. My grandmother didn't know what my mum was talking about.
Louisa looks to be a family name, but this person's tree has got me curious.
Many thanks in advance

Fantastic, thank you so much.
It's been a bit of a laugh in our family that my mum named me after her but got her name wrong :D
Turns out my mum misheard and called me Louise not Louisa but she was right.
The gardner name has thrown me a little though. Not heard of that name at all, will keep an eye on that.
Thank you all

The Gardner name is not your family but a birth registered the following year.

Brilliant, I was just looking at the dates for that then and thought the same.
Thank you

Apologies, I should have been clearer.I posted Gardner so that we can ELIMINATE that birth reg

Did Doris marry Owen Richard Evans / Richard Owen Evans?
If so, there is a 1939 document. ( showing birth 28/2/04 )
2 lines redacted so could be 2x children?

Thanks Ray,
Yes she did marry Owen Richard Evans and they had 2 daughters, one being my Grandmother.
I hadn't seen the 1939 record so thank you very much for that.
