29 in 1931, so unless she lied, she wasn't born in 1899
What was the actual date of the marriage?

Hi Again to all.. Think there might be a few little "white lies" here .Marr cert says
15th June 1931. she was a Weaver.. from Preston Eng. Father a Labourer. Thomas Beckett. mother Hellen Beckett nee Porter.
Trouble is though Arthur David Porter.. husband was only 22yrs of age. that would make him being born in 1909.(Still older than her .) :-(

So the 1899 birth is her as her parents names fit although mum was Ellen not Helen
Seems she wanted not to appear so much older than her hubby
