Find Ancestors

Hi I have decided to take a little rest from researching my family and to try and trace some of my husbands ancestors.
I am looking for an Mary Etheridge who married a George Lyes in Crewe Cheshire in the years 1886 to 1889 at St Paul's, Crewe.
I have been trying to trace her birth which I believe to be in the Ombersley area of Worcestershire as my husband has rels in this area that he knew of and I my self went to visit them many years ago.
I'm sorry for the lack of more information but its like trying to knit fog asking my husband to tell me what he knew and it appears they weren't that much of a close knit family.

Many thanks
Polly

FMP appears to be creaking under the strain at the moment so I cant confirm that Mary Etheridge was born in Staffordshire or even Warwickshire!

Could this be Ann? Fits better with her age of 38 in Potty's 1851 census than it does with my 1861. I realise the spelling is Edderidge rather than Etheridge.
