Get certs for factual info...........

What was Mary’s DoB?
Why do you think she and her husband were born in Wolstanton?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 3 Jan 2021 21:21

The marriage is easily found on FreeBMD:

Marriages Jun 1911 (>99%)
Turner Mary Wolstanton 6b 279
Vernon George Wolstanton 6b 279

You may need to buy the marriage cert to find out George's father's name, and also George's occupation, which would help.
