Hello Bertha
Thanks for your interest in my post re:Dovie Howell. Printed out the actual census and had a peer at it with my trusty magnifyer and will agree that the name looks like Doris.
Regarding the babtism you found. Not too sure about this.
George Dobbs (abt 1840) spouse Lavinia Herbert (1841). They married in 1864.
Children were:
Rachel Dobbs (abt 1865) no marriage found up to 1901, but on 1891 census she is age 26 working as a Servant for Colonel John Moutray Read in Cheltenham
George Dobbs (abt 1866) married Laura Minnie White in 1894. Up to 1901 they had no issue
Emma J Dobbs (abt 1869) no record found ater 1881,possibly married but no information.
Elizabeth Dobbs (abt 1871) married Thomas Henry Gagg in 1890
Herbert Thomas Dobbs (abt 1878) married Rosa Drew in 1898
Frank Albert Dobbs (abt 1884) married Amy Elizabeth Marfell
I did find a marriage reference 17 Nov 1889, of a William Neale Howell age 40 Widower married to Elizabeth Yarwood Widow age 32
Another one for a Henry Howell age 25 to Elizabeth Maddox spinster(father George Maddox).
I do not think that either of the two marriages are for Dovie (Doris Howell's parents )Any other suggestions? Regards Jean Herbert
