That tree mentioned by Mavis gives no proof of anything re Mary, except the marriage to Alfred Britton.
The tree owner has been researching the Britton side - lots of Britton family members, with proofs.

Mary is listed as Mary Knight Metcalf.

Mavis

someone here has a Mary Metcalfe born 1922 in Bedfordshire in their tree

There was no birth in Bedfordshire in 1922 for a Mary Metcalf or Metcalfe

might the person who owns that tree be a family member of your Mary who has made an assumption about her birth?

... ah, that tree owner is in your tree


so is it your guess that Mary Metcalf was born in Bedfordshire in 1922? seems not to be correct, but is her age based on something, like a marriage certificate or death record?


really best for you to give a litte more info, the words are free!

There's the birth of a Britton / Metcalf son in Bedford.

You'll see it if you search on FreeBMD

EDIT:
Oops, that's presumably you, Michael!

Yes, I thought that too ArgyllGran. Her first husband remarried in the 50s and is now deceased.

This is the same Britton/Knghts marriage, with an alternate surname for Mary - she must have already taken her partner's name:

Name: Mary Knights
Spouse Surname: Knights

Given that Mary's first marriage was during WW2, she could have been born anywhere.

Do you have the marriage certificate please? That would give her age and possibly her father's name and occupation.

Is Mary still alive or do you know when and where she died if she is deceased?
