Marian Harriett married 29 Mar 1891All Saints Haggerston to Frederick James Barton. Her father is shown as John Williams - cab proprietor. Witnesses were John Williams and Sarah Jane Williams. Marian 's age given as 21. I can not find a birth for Marian nor find her on a census. I have tried using father John and mother Sarah Jane and also sister Sarah Jane
In 1891Islington Marion shows birth as 1870 Islington. In 1911 Islington she is shown as Mary Ann born 1870 Islington. There is a birth registration for a Mary Ann in Sep 1870 Islington that may be her but can find nothing on census

I have had Mary Ann & Marianne interchangeable in my tree too.

Why do you assume the witnesses to be her parents ?

Mike? - he doesn't- Ed has also tried searching Sarah as a sister.

Thanks but I Mary Ann K/H is not mine. You have her with parents John and Mary Ann living Camberwell however mine is married and living in Islington in 1891

Ed, have added the family of your Mary/ Marianne in 1891 to my original post- John is a cab driver :)

Have deleted those censuses then.
