Births Jun 1910
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YORK Dorcas May Bradford on A. 5a 118

I cant find her on the 1911 census?

Having had a pootle around the records and trees, it looks as though Dorcas was illegitimate, born to Florence Ellen York.

Florence later married (1915) Francis James Saunders, he was killed in action in 1916

To be sure you would need to buy Dorcas' birth certificate - details above
