Commentary
Doris’s parentage:
Doris informed the author of this page that her parents were Alfred Edwin Molineux and Harriet Hinde. These parents are recorded on Doris’s 1925 marriage registration. Her 1924 Canada Ocean Arrivals Form records that her uncle was William Hinde. The National School Admission Registers (Tarleton, Lancashire, 1905 and 1908) record her mother as Harriet. Her baptism record (Tarleton, 1905), states that her parents were “Alfred Edward (sic) & Harriet Molineux”. The 1911 census states that “Doris Winstanley Molineux”, aged 9, born Tarleton, was the granddaughter of Adelaide Hinde. In the same household was Adelaide’s daughter Harriet Molineux, who was the informant. Doris is also described as Adelaide Hinde’s granddaughter in the 1921 census, where the probable informant was Adelaide Hinde. Adelaide Hinde names her late daughter Harriet Molineux and her granddaughter Doris Winstanley Molineux in her 1923 will.
The evidence for Doris’s parentage is sufficient.
