Doris was the
fifth child of Elizabeth Gilliland and her husband
William Robinson. She was born in the third quarter of
1899 and her birth was registered in the Auckland
Registration District. She was recorded,
aged 1, on the 1901 census at 18 Cold Knot Row, Crook

Doris had a brother, Ernest, who was 8 and three
sisters, Edith (9), Lenora (5) and Ethel (3).
The 1911 census return showed that the family had moved
to Chopwell. Doris was listed as being 11 and at school
. I don't yet have any
other information about Doris. |
