Hi Liz, welcome to the site

If you order Doris' birth certificate, it will tell you who her parents were.
You can order it from the GRo - General Register Office (GRO) - Official information on births, marriages and deaths

Reference details:
Doris Rose Poole
Q4 1899
District Cirencester
Volume 6a
Page 405


Having looked at the 1901 census, it is possible she is the daughter of Charles born c1880 and Rose born c1881. There are no other children listed, so it's possible she was the eldest.

There is a marriage for
Charles Robert Poole
Rose Selwyn
Q2 1899
Cirencester 6a 841

There are also a few possible siblings. If you look on FreeBMD Home Page and enter the surname Poole and mothers maiden name Selwyn, it will show those who were born after Sep 1911.
It is more difficult to place those born between 1901 and 1911 as there is no point of reference available yet. It looks like there were a few Poole families in the Cirencester registration district around that time.

If that Doris on the 1901 census is the right one, this looks like her parents' marriage:

Marriages Jun 1899
Booth Isabella Cirencester 6a 841
Godfrey George Grayham Cirencester 6a 841
Poole Charles Robert Cirencester 6a 841
Selwyn Rose Cirencester 6a 841

[Mary from Italy]

There are some possible siblings for Doris here (unfortunately the mother's maiden name only appears in the index from 1911, so there were probably more children born between 1901 and 1911):

Surname First name(s) / Mother / District / Vol Page

Births Dec 1911
Poole Mary A / Selwyn / Cirencester / 6a 639

Births Mar 1914
POOLE Georgina K / Selwyn / Cirencester 6a / 658

Births Jun 1917
Poole Irene F M / Selwyn / Cirencester / 6a 555

These details come from FreeBMD:

Hi Liz,
Welcome to the site. Glad you found your way in.

It might be worth your while having a look at Genes Reunited.
Family Tree • Genealogy • Ancestor • Ancestry • Family History
There are two people on there who have a Doris Poole, born circa 1900 in Poulton, Gloucestershire, on their trees.

There is also a tree on Ancestry World Tree (Genealogy and Family History Records - Ancestry.co.uk) that has Doris Poole, daughter of Charles and Rose. It has the submitters email address so he may be able to help you with your tree.
I will send you a personal message - you will see it at the top right of the screen just under your log in name!

It's still just as well to get Doris's birth certificate, though, to be quite sure of her parents, because there is another Doris Poole on the 1901 census, born c. 1897, with different parents, and ages on the census aren't always accurate.

Assuming Charles and Rose are the correct parents, they were aged 21 and 20 respectively in 1901, so this is Rose's birth:

Births Sep 1880
Selwin May Cirencester 6a 390
Selwin Rose Cirencester 6a 390

May was her twin (they're shown with the same age on the 1891 census). Their father was an invalid receiving parish relief, and there are several more siblings.

Thanks for pointing out my error Mary. Have amended my post :o

Liz, I'm not clear whether any of the people you mention in your post are still alive - if they are then we should remove their details, as it is against our site policy to post up details that could identify living people. Could you let me know if any of them are still alive, please?

Hi Liz
Your mums parents were Charels and Rose Poole of Poulton, gloucestershire. She had brothers and sisters, Mary, Alice, Francis, Bid and Gerald. They all had family and lived in the Cirencester area. I am Geralds daughter, he was the youngest, and i have a brother Robert and sister Alison. Rose (Selwyn) died a few months after dad was born in 1919 and granddad remarried but I am not sure of her name because no-one ever speaks of her, I think they called her old Annie. Charles died in 1958 and his father was William born about 1866 in Poulton and was married to Jane Davies. Williams father was William born 1846 Poulton.
Rose was a twin with and her fafamily came from Maisey Hampton, Gloucestershire. Her father was John Selwyn born 1835.

I hope this helps you,
Chris

This particular family lived for quite a few generations in Poulton, nr Cirencester. As far as I know they were not from Hawkesbury.
