This looks like him in 1911 Mel

1911 EnglandWales & Scotland Census Transcription
136 Castlemain Road Bournemouth, Bournemouth, Hampshire, England

Francis Stephen Bennett Head Married Male Agent 32 1879 City of London
Ethel Bennett Wife Married Female - 30 1881 Hall Yorkshire
Winifred Bennett Daughter - Female - 5 1906 South Lambeth London


Says married 7 years, 3 children born, 1 living, 2 had died.

On the image his occupation is Agent, Assurance company.

If he didn't marry Doris's mother, her birth is probably registered under her mother's surname.

Doris died 10 March 2004 and probate was granted 14 April 2004. You could buy a copy of her will.

There isn't a matching birth for her in Sussex in 1915
