Doris Ethel Fifoot was born in Cardiff, Glamorganshire on 27 February 1891, the second of the three children of Frank and Thomasine Fifoot. The census of 1891 shows the family living at 15 Richmond Crescent in Cardiff and by 1911 they were at 34 Newport Road in Cardiff.
Doris attended Bedford College at London University and, in 1912, she graduated with a BA degree.
According to the 1939 register, Doris was living at Westways, Ty-Gwyn Crescent, Cardiff, the home of her widowed mother Thomasine and Doris' widowed sister Gladys was also living there. Doris' occupation is listed as "Unpaid domestic duties".
The electoral register for 1955 shows Gladys and Doris at the same address. Also there was a lady called Lily Burrows who it is assumed was a lodger.
