Good spot Dea

That fits with possible marriage of parents in 1887

Dea,

Sorry forgot to say she was born Titlow but grandparents only used it for the first year after she was born then they put Higginbottom down EXCEPT FOR THE 1901 for the censuses.

I have looked at Titlow marriages for Derbyshire and there are none.

PH,

I have got a copy of Catherine's and Alfred's death certs but neither of them mention Mary's name.

It was my Aunt Florence who registered Grandma's death and Uncle John who registered Grandad's death both youngest of my aunt's and uncle's

Thanks for the suggestion.

Always appreciated.

Sue

If all else fails...

It might be an idea to purchase a copy of Catherine's death cert.

Mary Ann might have been the informant and her surname will tell you if she was married at that time or not.

I have an aunt Mary Ann Higginbottom born 1887 in Newbold Derbyshire.

I am trying to find the right marriage for her as I have sent for 3 marriage certs and they are all wrong.

I thought that with Grandma (Catherine Hgginbottom)being ill and dying in 1931 then she would have still been at home looking after her,

She was still at home with her parents and siblings in 1911 age 24

Mary's parents were Alfred and Catherine Higginbottom.Grandad was a Coal Miner(Hewer)

So if anyone can be of a help finding the right marriage I would be really grateful as there are that many Mary Higginbottom's on Freebmd between 1911 and 1935.

Thanks in Advance.
