Find Ancestors

This is my great aunt who was born c1890 in Oulton, Wigton, Cumbria. She was baptised at St Mary's Church, Wigton on 2/3/1890. I am trying to find out when and where she was married. I know she married John Reed and it was after 1911, they had a son Norman in c1920 and I think 2 other children. My father, her nephew, thinks she may have married in the Dumfries area as he thinks she was 'in service' there. Thank you.

Hi Janette.
Do you know where Norman was born?

Just putting her birth:

Births Mar 1890
Lightfoot Mary Agnes B Wigton 10b 529

There's a Reed/Lightfoot marriage in 1902 Lanchester which could account for the 1914 birth. And I think this is the death of the 1913 child:
