Doris Kirk was born on July 12 1917. The daughter of a coal miner, she also had an older sister Elizabeth - known as Betty - who passed away in 2009 at the age of 96.

Doris married Joseph Kirk in April 1940, who sadly passed away in 2000.

She has two daughters, three grandchildren, five great grandchildren and three great great grandchildren with another one on the way.
