If they married in 1922, she was born before 1910.
Do you know if she was definitely born in Leicestershire as they did not marry there?

You will probably have to buy a copy of the marriage cert. to see how old Beatrice was at the time of marriage, this way you can work out when she was born. It will also give you her father's name and occupation, which will help find them in the census records. Without this info, any info found will only be guess work.

If the death is correct, then you now know her date of birth. I would still recommend that you buy the marriage cert. to find out the name of her father.
