Find Ancestors

Looking for information about my grandmothers family Smith, and any other information, such as her mothers maiden name, and siblings.
She was born in 1891and died in 1965, I'm not sure where she was born.
She married my grandfather Frank Pickersgill in 1913, in Barnsley South Yorkshire.
They lived in Barnsley all their lives, but I can't find her family as her maiden name is
so common.
Any information would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

If you get a copy of the marriage cert, you will find out if she knew her father's name

Without that, you may struggle

I can remember visiting an Aunt Clara, didn't know for certain it was my grandmothers sister.
So looks like my great grandmother's maiden name was Warrington, thats a great help.Thank you.

So Ben was alive in 1911, but had died by the time Mary married in 1913.
