    Hi,

    I'll start with the info about Doris' family 1st. I cannot be 100% sure that this is the correct family. The only way you will truly know her parents' names is if you send for her birth certificate. Here is the info I have uncovered.

    Father: Alfred Sparrow born c. 1883
    Mother: May born c. 1882
    Children: Doris
    Gladis born c. 1905
    Alfred born c. 1906
    Florance born c. 1907
    Harry born c. 1909
    Louie (female) born c. 1910

    From this info, I found a marriage for an Alfred John Sparrow in Oct-Nov-Dec qtr of 1902 in Bristol, Gloucs. Possible spouses are Violet May Giles and Ellen Reed. I would say Violet is the correct spouse, given that her middle name is May and when I looked up Gladys' birth, her middle name was Violet!

    I can do more look-ups about Doris' family if you wish.

    Now looking for info about Charles

    Regards

    Mrsp

    Done a search on violet may Giles and that was a better match for Alfred John Married. I would need to do alot more searching on Doris side of the Family.

    The marriage reg for Doris and Charles is below. It would be best to get this cert because you would get both fathers names and occupations.

    Spouse: Charles O Henshaw

    I could not find any births in Bristol for Charles Oliver. I came up with one in Leicester mother maidam name Weston or Hunter. Not sure if oliver Henshaw is Charles Oliver Henshaw farther. So Oliver could be my great great Grandfarther.

    In view of the fact that you are uncertian of where Charles was born I think you should get the marriage cert for Doris and Charles, its the best bet which should show both fathers.
