I'm trying to track the ancestory of my Great Grandmother, on her marriage certificate (1/10/1879 Canterbury Kent England) to my Great Grandfather William Wren she shows as Mary Atkinson (Widow) and her Father shows as Michael Donayhue (I'm having trouble deciphering, the AY could be OY or AG or OG) he is showing as a Sergeant Major in R.H.A.I know from research she was born in India as were some of her and Williams children but I can't find any info on her as either an Atkinson or a Donayhue etc. I have been able to track all the other branches of my family back to 1700's or older but have hit a brick wall with her. Any help appreciated.

Many Thanks
