Their marriage certificate will record their ages plus fathers names & occupations:

Marriages Dec 1905
COVER Ethel Ada Dorking 2a 383
HIGGINS Sidney Dorking 2a 383

Quite possibly Ethel's birth maybe:

Births Dec 1882
Cover Ethel Ada Dorking 2a 146


This info was found online & free on the free bmd web site......... I'll have a look & see if I can fine Ethel on the census details for you
