Yes, her name is May on the image. That's why I thought she may be your Mary May, using her middle name, as opposed to the Mary Vivian born in London.

Many thanks for that Christina.

Her name looks more like May on the image....but you never know!!

Is this a possibility for Mary in 1901? No way of knowing for sure, but her name is not written as Vivian on the image, just dittoed under the head of household as are his wife and children. There is a Mary Vivian born in London in 1885, but she is elsewhere in 1901.

I think the whereabouts of Mary in 1901 will remain a mystery.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to look for me.

David.

There is this one too, though obviously impossible to say if yours. Do you have an address for her on the marriage cert?

David, this is the one Proposed by Glitterbaby - the only question mark would be who Elizabeth is. You need to look for these two 1891 to see if she is her mother.
