@brummiejan, yes, I'm pretty sure that's her, and it gives a birthplace.
There's a transcription error in the last but one line: Henrietta => Hamilton
Where is this record from please?

Date: 25 December 1910
John Hamilton Stacey - 45 years - bachelor - 120 Barking Road Canning Town - father John Hamilton Stacey (deceased) - draper's warehouseman
Margaret Peake - 29 years - Spinster - Gore Farm Hospital, Dartford (she was a nurse) - father Thomas Edward George Peake - provision merchant
Married in a registry office, witnesses A Stacey and A E Stacey
I think A E Stacey is probably Annie Elizabeth, A Stacey might be Alexandra Wilhelmina Stacey but thats a bit of a stretch.
Thanks for asking!

Hi Keith.
Please can I just confirm a couple of things? As your solid evidence is the marriage cert, please can you give all the details from it - address for Margaret, Thomas Peake's occupation, and name of witnesses.
Thanks
Jan

My grandmother was Margaret Stacey, nee Peake. I have her marriage certificate which shows her as 29 in 1910. Her father is given as Thomas Edward George Peake. For him I have a possible baptism date 7 Mar 1852 and possible birth date of 9 December 1851.
There's a possible C1911 record showing him widowed with a son (?) of the same name, and a possible C1871 with a daughter Margaret, but it's not consistent with the C1911 one. Then there's a possible C1861 which shows his parents as Thomas & Margaret, and a birth place of Hackney for Margaret sister / daughter. I'm inclined to believe the C1861 record, but I'm worried that that might be because it tells me what I want to hear!
But I have so far failed to turn up a believable birth / baptism record for Margaret 1881. I wondered whether anyone else might have more success. I'd be grateful of any help you can offer.
