Hi Reggie
Her father was a Labourer and the witness's were
Frederick and Charlotte Jane Moulder as far as we

Could have lied about her age or her name. My grandfather had all official documents in the name of James Arthur. He was James Auguste. His father was called Elphege but went by the name of Alfred.

Is there an address on the marriage cert? If there is you could pay out for a copy of the 1911 census, it depends on how desperate you are

Hi Clair
Yes the address is Townsend road or place cant quite make it out but she married in 1911 and was
living with he future husband at the time .
