Thanks for your help.
Can now confirm Annie is the wife of Joseph Mitchell.

I have a copy of a photo titled Joseph and Elizabeth Mitchell. I’m thinking this photo could be of Doris’s brother Joseph b. 1900 and his wife Elizabeth.
Any help with any additional info on him would be appreciated.  :)

This is possibly Annie MITCHELL in 1901 - with her mother Hariett in Roath. Though why the child is "Allan" I'm not sure - I would think this was "Joseph" born 1900 (in the 1911 census)

I think he was registered Joseph Wilfred A Mitchell?
Added - apologies, only just spotted previous post.

There is a death for a Joseph MITCHELL aged 45, registered at Cardiff (11a/262) Mar qtr 1910. A possibility for his death. (So born c1865).

I can see him in 1891 (aged 26, born St Austell, Cornwall) as a boarder in Cardiff.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:413W-VZM

His occpn is "Sailor" on the 1891 Census.

There's a Board of Trade enquiry in May 1901 in Cardiff into the loss of the steamship Portugalete and one of the witnesses was a crew member, "Joseph Mitchell, A.B."
Tracking the ship via newspaper sightings the Portugalete arrived in Penarth on 31st March from Rochefort. The Census was taken the night of the 31st March. If this is Elizabeth's husband, might account for his missing the 1901 Census?

Joseph W A MITCHELL death registerd Oct qtr 1967 East Glamorgan aged 68.

He appears on the 1921 census (I don't have a subscription, so can't see the details) in Cardiff.

Can't seem to find wife Kathleen on 1939 register. (Joseph W A was a merchant seaman.)
