Which birth cert did you buy? I can see at least two possibles (she could have been born late 1883)
I have traced the family back on the census The rest of the family in 1891:
Richard Graham 62 Mary A Graham 45 Thomas Graham 13 Mary Graham 7 Susan Lute 21 Thomas Lute 21 Thomas Lute 2/12
The same family in 1881:
1881 England Census about Thomas Graham Name: Thomas Graham Age: 4 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1877 Relation: Son Father's Name: Richard Graham Mother's Name: Mary Ann Graham Gender: Male Where born: Manchestr, Lancashire, England Civil parish: Manchester County/Island: Lancashire Country: England Street Address: 8 Lower Brook St Education:

The baby on the 1901 is listed directly below Mary - and her name is Margaret
Mary's occupation is Housemaid - domestic. Does that tally with the marriage cert?
|
How do you know you have the right birth cert? Also, who are the witnesses - might they be family members? Jan
|
So the birth was illegitimate, and the father was probably invented for the look of things when she married - unless you have certs for two different people
Who did she marry? When did she marry? How old was she? What else did she say about her 'father'?
Which of her children is your proven direct line?
When did Mary die?

I have marraige cert her dads name is Richard sorry forgot to write that above but I sent off for birth cert and mother is down as Mary Jane Graham and no maiden name plus no father.
Also if it is my great grandma then she had 3 kids that I know of however in the 1901 census in the place she lived the chorlton union workhouse there is a 1 month old baby of same surname??? No sign of this baby after this though.
