Hi Claire, That's the one I was originally using but I've got Chas. H Parsons birth cert. and mother is Elizabeth Eliza not Mary Ann. I suppose the only answer is to get the other childrens birth certs.
Thought if they could be found on 1891 it might answer my query.
Thank you.

Worth a look, perhaps Dad married twice
