Searching GlosBMD for Baptisms to DAVIS and GLOVER at this time suggest this complete family group;

DAVIS Edward Frank DAVIS DAVIS GLOVER 1873 Gloucester Gloucester, Kingsholm 14 214

So if he lived to adulthood, Sidney is Dorothy's Uncle, her possible Godfather perhaps ?. Still doesn't explain WHY Walpole ?.

Probable parents, again from GlosBMD;

I can answer the "why Walpole" question - Ann (Davis) Wintle's grandmother's family were Walpoles (that is, Rebecca Glover Davis's mother's family). There's a tradition in that branch of my family to use familial surnames as middle names. The Sidney Walpole listed above is my great-grandfather. Thus, Ann Davis Wintle is my second-great aunt. This discussion thread filled in some blanks in my family tree and I'm happy to add a little something to it!
