The marriage cert should give you a better idea of when she was born.........and tell you her father's name and occupation Who did she marry? And when? Reg

I think you would be wise to wait until the cert arrives, as it will give you some concrete info from which to work. Reg

This birth has to be it: Births Jun 1913 Barns Edith L F Cook Medway 2a 1478 There can't be too many Edith LF Barns and it's in the same district they married. Maybe you could look for her death? Rose
