I have my grandmothers marrriage certificate it states her father as WILLIAM HENRY WILSON WAY deceased and this is in 1941 her mother i have as Mary W-Way as being aged 29 on the 1901 cenus although i have doubted this to be her true age as she died in 1947 aged 70? also the census states my g g gran as married but there was no mention of a husband on this census ,i hope i havent confused you
