I agree, one would - but her birth record is the only time her middle name Groat is used.

So far, I can't see any definite sign of her anywhere in the world after 1901, with or without the name Groat..

Her birth clearly includes a third forename, which one would expect to be used for any official events

However, this is the Stout couple in 1911:

STOUT
JAMES
1911
M
35
033/1 1/ 2
Westray
Orkney


STOUT
MARY
1911
F
26
033/1 1/ 2
Westray
Orkney

So that's not her either - too young.

So , if your Mary Ann did marry, that cuts down the possibilities (assuming she still lived on Westray) to

the marriage to James Stout 1907;
or Henry Mowat Rendall 1901



Ah - going back to the 1911 census -
amongst the people in that household were also:

RENDALL
HENRY MOWAT
1911
M
2
033/1 5/ 1
Westray
Orkney

and

RENDALL
HENRY MOWAT
1911
M
27
033/1 5/ 1
Westray
Orkney

So that probably means that the Mary Ann Rendall who married Henry Mowat Rendall was the daughter of Thomas and Ann.

a tree on ancestry has no marriage or death for her
some nice photos of the family

For elimination in 1911 census:

This is NOT her.

RENDALL
MARY ANN
1911

Westray

Having looked at the names of other members of that household, this is a different Mary Ann, parents Thomas and Ann.
