From freebmd.................the only one marrying a Mary.........but there may be many more on the full records. Mary Collins 1890 Apr-May-Jun Horncastle Lincolnshire Samuel Steeper 1890 Apr-May-Jun Horncastle Lincolnshire You need the birth cert of one of their children to ensure that you are tracing the right people...........
