Birth of Doris Grocock in FreeBMD in April-June 1908 in Camberwell (1d 854) which included Peckham.
I cannot find either her or her sister in the 1911 census - they do not appear to be living with their parents nor with their uncle Horace Grocock.
Her father was admitted to Croydon Asylum on 14 March 1912 and died on 18 May 1915 at the Croydon Mental Hospital, Chelsham, Godstone, Surrey.
Marriage of Doris Grocock and Harold G Jordan in FreeBMD in July-September 1933 in Hampstead (1a 1822).

Neil Musto has an entry in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Doris Grocock born 24 March 1908, parents Harold Backhouse Grocock and Annie Elizabeth Luff, married to Harold Jordan, and her death on 25 April 1994 in Winchcombe. In an email he added that a copy of the birth certificate of Doris Grocock shows that she was the daughter of Harold Backhouse Grocock & Annie Elizabeth Grocock (formerly Luff) and was born on 24/03/1908 at 47 Lyndhurst Road. He belives that Harold died in 1914/15 and Annie in 1931, and both children were brought up by one of Harold's brothers, viz Horace. (I cannot find a Lyndhurst Road in Camberwell - from the 1901 census description it was south of Peckham Road (A202) and north of the railway line -there are today Lyndhurst Way and Lyndhurst Grove in this area which is part of Peckham.)
Winchcombe is 9 miles NE of Cheltenham on B4632.
Doris Grocock was my half third cousin. Her husband was the grandnephew of Edgar Jordan, husband of Amy Luff, her grandaunt.
