She was probably born in one area and grew up in another. Rock Ferry and New Brighton are around Birkenhead but I can't see a place called New Ferry |

hiya emma, dont worry about it too much i have several rellies who change their place of birth from census to census, and as for the spelling of a name, it just depends HOW the person writing it heard it, as often people couldnt write so they depended on learned people to write it for them, they couldnt check it, if they couldnt read. so isnt uncommon to find alot of different spellings hope this helps julie |

hiya emma, firstly i would buy marriage cert, you can do this online from the GRO it will cost £7, once you have that then you'll have fathers of bride and groom, then we can set about finding them on census returns, and hopefully progress from there, not alot of point trying to guess, otherwise, you could end up chasing the wrong line hope this helps julie |
