OK that is a pain, thank you for the information.
Is there a nifty way of reducing your search time period to a specific year?

OK, I give up.
How can you find anything with the new search criteria in the newspaper section?
offering me a name and keyword option is not enough.
The dropdown menu of date published seems to give you block ranges and tempts you to narrow it down to a specific day but then does not allow it.
Has anyone written a masterclass on how to tackle the new search method?
I want to see a copy of Newmarket Journal 19 March 1964, page 7 'Burwell has had a library since 1894'

Thank you for your help.
Re: the marriage, the William Bliss named as father on the certificate is her brother, her father died before the wedding. I have photos and newspaper reports showing their 50th wedding anniversary confirming the date and church of marriage.
RE: 1901 that certainly looks possible, and is probable as she changed how she was called many times in her life. I will make of note of it but keep it as probable not proven for a bit.
THank you for all your help.

in 1991 census, Dorothy is shown as daughter of George Edward b1864 (son of George E and Mary Asbee in the 1901 census. His wife is shown as having no children and married for 3 years, so it looks like Dorothy is daughter of George and a previous wife/girlfriend.
I now have a story to display with the driving licence, thanks for your help

In the 1881 Census Emily is daughter to George and Mary Asbee. By 1901, Dorothy M is recorded as granddaughter to George and Mary.
Her birth record shows her mother's maiden name is Tottman, but I haven't found a marriage between Asbee and Tottman, so no idea of Dorothy's parents yet.
