Tracey you are right on her birth certificate it says on the 15th day of March, but I cant see which year! Presumably 1928 like you say!!

Thankyou to post who found marriages in 1906 but considering my grandad was born 1922, rough guess she would off been 20, my great nan would of been 6 or 7 when married!!

Marriage Mar 1906
Worcester 6c 321
Harris James
Lalley Mary Ann

Marriage 1919 Worcester 6c 394
Cook, Albert J
Harris, Mary A

Birth Mar 1922
Cook Albert J, mothers maiden name Lalley , Worcester 6c 232


Looks like Mary Ann Lalley married a James Harris in 1906. In 1919 she marries Albert J Cook and their son Albert J is born in 1922

There’s a Mary Ann Lalley born Sept 1880 registered Dudley 6c 48

Looking at the dates, it's quite probable her first husband died in WW1

Hello Kelly,
Now if you ever get the chance to visit the grave, that would help to make your family history come to life.
