Sorry, don't have any more time to do any digging but it does look as though, here too you are going to have to buy a birth certificate to find out any more.
Although Mary states she is married, there is no sign of her husband on any of the census records, so would be difficult to know if Mary was ever married or not.
You could try and find a baptism record to see if a father is noted on there, or maybe one of the marriage certificates of one of the girls to see if a father is noted on them. Without either you will have trouble going backwards if that is what you wish to do.

this could be her marriage:-

Name Grace B Adams
Event Type Marriage
Registration Quarter Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration Year 1915
Registration District North Bierley
County Yorkshire
Event Place North Bierley, Yorkshire, England
Spouse Name (available after 1911) Pettinger
Volume 9B
Page 165
Line Number 91

Grace B Adams probably married one of the following people
Name Cyril R Pettinger


In which case these could be possible children:-

Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
Pettinger Duncan W Adams N. Bierley 9b 77

Births Sep 1924 (>99%)
Pettinger Aubrey C Adams N.Bierley 9b 79

This is very likely to be the death of mother Mary:-

Name: Mary Hannah Adams
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Registration Year: 1904
Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 47
Registration district: North Bierley
Parishes for this Registration District: View Ecclesiastical Parishes associated with this Registration District
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 9b
Page: 142

................if it is her then at least you know that her full name is Mary Hannah.


You can't take this as a marriage, but I thought it worth posting for the coincidence:-

Marriages Mar 1882 (>99%)
xxxx ADAMS Charles Bradford Y 9b 227
DUNSEATH Crawford Bradford Y 9b 227
LEGHORN Charlotte Bradford, Y 9b 227
xxxx Pettinger Mary Hannah Bradford Y. 9b 227

Then again, there is a possible birth that would go with the marriage:-

Name: Mary Hannah Pettinger
Registration Year: 1854
Registration Quarter: Apr-May-Jun
Registration district: East Retford
Parishes for this Registration District: View Ecclesiastical Parishes associated with this Registration District
Inferred County: Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 10

..................born correct date and place (see 1891 census)

....and if it turns out to be her, then this would seem to be her in 1881:-

Name: Mary H. Pettinger
Age: 27
Estimated birth year: abt 1854
Relationship to Head: Daughter
Father: James Pettinger
Mother: Hannah Pettinger
Gender: Female
Where born: Retford, Nottinghamshire, England
Civil Parish: Aylsham
County/Island: Norfolk
Country: England
Street address: Millgate

Occupation: School Mistress

Registration district: Aylsham
ED, institution, or vessel: 3
Neighbors: View others on page
Piece: 1930
Folio: 53
Page Number: 8
Household Members:
Name Age
James Pettinger 48
Hannah Pettinger 50
Mary H. Pettinger 27
William Pettinger 16
Edward E.J. Pettinger 11
Gertrude A.A. Pettinger 8
Beatrice B. Pettinger 5


...............which brings us back to Aylsham. Coincidence?

Of course this is all pure speculation so you would absolutely have to buy the birth certificate of Grace Beatrice Adams to find out the names of her parents.
