Note: Some trees have Dorothy born in Devon, even though the birth was registered in Kent. This may be correct given the father was away serving in the navy. Rose's family was in Devon, so she may have gone there to give birth and returned to Kent after a time and registered the birth there. Baby Dorothy was baptised in Kent.
