Thankyou John!!
Another line to research for me then the Lane Family!
Any point in buying me Great Nans marriage cert in off chance it may name her Father or bit of a long shot?
Many Thanks

Looks as though Doris's father Frederick James Clarke was the son of James and Elizabeth born 1882 who appears with them on 1891 census. The fact that Elsie Rosina had no mother's name recorded at birth suggests they are cousins. Elsie Rosina was born 27th Sept 1896 and her baptism records only mother Frances Annie, who is Frederick Albert's sister.

Save your money Dunc, Elsie's marriage cert 19th September 1917 to Perival Joseph Padley is online on Ancestry and no father is shown.

Many thanks for your time and look ups really appreciated Mate !
I thought it might be a long shot but at least i can at least try trace Frederick Clarkes/Lane lineage (hopefully!)
Thanks again John
