i am looking for ancesters of martha ann turland born 1879, ramsey huntingdonshire.
i cant find her birth certificate! i can find her death certificate and marriage certificate for both her marriages which i know are correct.

i found her on the 1891 census parents listed as joseph and emma. i dont know the year her parents married so i cant find their marriage cert. i also cant find birth certificate for her father joseph. according to 1891 census he was born in 1842 and emma was born 1844.
the problem comes when i tried to trace back to the 1881 census, there is no record for any of them. 1901 there is no martha ann turland on the census. i know december 1901 she got married

can anyone help me please.
