Thank you - its a possibilty. I have her birth reg (not the cert) as
1897 1Q Romford 4a 487. If it's correct, they could have got the year wrong!

The Family Search catalogue for that film number gives the result....

'Parish registers for Barking, 1558-1947'

So that doesn't narrow it down :-(

Anyway I had a look on Seax and it is St Margarets
Doris Tomlin
Born 3 Jan 1897
Baptised 10 March 1897
Parents William and Annie Tomlin
Father a Labourer
Residing 133 Morley Road
