Thank you David..........dates are vital

BUT.....there is NO birth record for your mother using the info you give, nor, indeed, for the other girls. The 1916 birth seems much more likely, in view of all the other info found

Have you done any research yourself?

Let's start with the marriage - do you have a copy of the cert?
