Hi Julie I couldn't find her birth or pick her up on the 1871 census

Have you got her marriage certificate? Who are the witnesses.?...They may help find her. She may have taken a stepfather's surname. Gwyn

registering a birth only became compulsory in 1875- she may not have been registered. her marriage cert wil tell her fathers name -( she may have been a widow when she married)

in 1891 , she;s born Cheshire, but a bit later , 1859 ( aged 32) Margaret Alice 6/12 Aaron Brown 32 Aaron Brown 4 Ellen Brown 11 Mary Jane Brown 32 Name: Mary Jane Brown Age: 32 Estimated birth year: abt 1859 Relation: Wife Spouse's name: Aaron Gender: Female Where born: Cheshire, England Civil parish: Ince in Makerfield Ecclesiastical parish: Christchurch Town: Ince in Makerfield County/Island: Lancashire Country: England ---------------------------- and gone AWOL on 1901 - so that wont help Aaron Brown 41 Aaron Brown 14 Ellen Brown 77 Lavenia Brown 2 Margaret A Brown 8 Mary E Brown 5 Mary J Brown 7 months Sarah J Brown 8 No AWOL - He's a widower..with a 7 month old baby. poor chap

Hi Thanks for help, looks like this is one I have to order marriage certificate for, I live in Australia and it is taking about 3 weeks at the moment. Thanks, if you do find anything else I will check back... Julie
