Please let me know if you would like to take a look.

Thank you all again

I wonder if it is the wrong birth certificate (the one in Chorlton). DoB is 15th Sept. I know it is only a minor detail but the marriage was 5th Sept so Mary would only have been 18. People did give the wrong ages and I know that birthday was only 10 days away but with husband only 18 I would have guessed she would have given her true age as 18 so as not to appear older. This is only a gut feeling though.

There is also this birth which would fit with the age of 19 on the marriage and a census calculated birth year of 1884

Births Dec 1883 (>99%)
GRAHAM Mary Manchester 8d 235

What do you think of

Name: Mary Graham
Date of registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1884
Registration district: Chorlton
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8c
Page: I think 808 (not clear)

This could be her also Ann I think I think I am gonna have to order a couple of certs.

You sent the cert scans to me - unsolicited - and I replied with my thoughts

As GR's system is not functioning correctly (not unusual) I can't view my sent messages to ascertain whether you have read my message.

I would appreciate knowing - either on here, or via PM
