I am trying to find my mums cousin Mary Terry.
The hints I have for her suggest she was born in 1955 in Cardiff, wales. Fathers name is Hertbert Terry born in 1925 in St Pancras, London. Mother maiden name Agnes M Lowe.

I don't know 100% if she is my mums cousin but the similarities were to striking to ignore. So now need to find her to rule her out or in.

Not seeing an obvious marriage for Mary. There are other Terry/Lowe births in Cardiff in years before and after 1955 do you know about those?

Welcome to the boards, Emma. Assuming the birth you've found is correct, she has a middle name starting with A.

Do you have a copy of her BC to confirm her parents names? How about her parent's marriage certificate?

If you wanted to order either, do so from https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

You can find the required birth reg on https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl
The one for her parents is

Marriages Mar 1951 (>99%)
LOWE Agnes M TERRY Cardiff (vol) 8b (page) 441
TERRY Herbert LOWE Cardiff 8b 441

Have you tried searching all members trees - top right under search - for her name and those of her parents and siblings?

I've just done a sibling searcd and I'm astonished at the names of them! ALL of them are family names such as Richard and Francis.

I think I'm on a good track. I have found some groups on Facebook to join too.
