My great uncle Joseph Mantle married Blanche Woolley in 1907. I have traced the Woolley family through the censuses and I know that Blanche had two brothers called William and George. Their parents were William Woolley and Jane ?????. How do I find out what Jane's maiden name was? I have gone through Ancestry looking up all the William Woolley marriages and have found a marriage in 1885 of a William Woolley and Jane Glover but how can I prove this is them?
