I have four porcelain dolls and three of them have names, but one does not. I am trying to find out if they are worth anything and information about them.

You need to know who manufactured them. My hunch is that they are mass-produced and not worth much. Write back when you have more information.
You will have to supply more information as there are thousands of dolls and without a brand/Company, doll names, length (how tall), any markings on back of neck/head/back we will not be able to help you. You should also state any information you have in regards to age that you may have.
You should submit one doll at a time (one doll per question) with as much information as you can find (see above for type) and post pictures of doll and also pictures of any markings on the back/neck/head.
Baby with white gown w/ hat laying down on striped back cover says Baby Jessica.
Baby with pink pajamas w/pink hat and white lace laying down says Kathy Hippensteal
Baby with pink dress w/ hat white lace holding her says Yolanda Bell
Girl with brown hair and a rose colored dress with small hat on head can't find any markings.
Thanks for this information.
Someone may be able to find information on at least one of your dolls.
I did find a little information the doll you state as:
"Baby with pink dress w/ hat white lace holding her says Yolanda Bell"
Here is an article about the artist.
Your doll stated as "Baby with pink pajamas w/pink hat and white lace laying down says Kathy Hippensteal" is also the name of the artist and not the doll. These are similar in value and usually less than $25 and also are very slow sellers.
Your doll shown as "Baby with white gown w/ hat laying down on striped back cover says Baby Jessica" is most likely a Yolando Bello doll or a Dianna Effner doll and is valued at about the same as other dolls.
Her is a doll listed on eBay that may be a doll like yours. You can check it out.
Your doll stated as: Girl with brown hair and a rose colored dress with small hat on head can't find any markings" is unknown to me so without more information there is no way to check her identity or value.
Most dolls of this nature are valued at less than $25.
Cybergrannie has given a lot of good info on values. Sadly most dolls have very little value in today's market.
If you are going to sell on eBay or Etsy, something to remember is dolls are fragile and need to be wrapped carefully to ship. I suggest wrapping and boxing before listing so you can give ebay the correct weight and box size. Never let ebay tell you the weight to ship. It is wrong 99 out of 100 times. You have to select the advanced seller tool to find this feature to enter your own info. It will save you money meaning the buyer will be paying accurate shipping and you won't have to cover the overage as ebay under values shipping.
Second if you are able to use a tax deduction, donating the dolls gets them into the hands of someone who will love them. Meaning if you donate to an organization that gets them into the hands of children in need, they will be dolls and not a commodity. Places like women's shelters and organizations that work with children getting them toys for the holidays are an excellent source for folks, as are children's hospitals and places children go for long term care needs.
Dolls were meant to be loved and this gets them back to their roots!!
