Hi hoping you can help,My great grandmother was Annie/Ann Wilks/Wilkes 1877/78 Middlesbrough? (can not find any birth for Annie in Middlesbrough)
When Annie married in 1895 to Andrew Mccarthy She was staying 33 Alfred street north Ormsby Yorkshire.At that address at that time also lived Jane Bache nee Wilks with her family.
When i have looked for Janes family from Woodside Dudley there was a sister Annie 1878 but she married in 1896 Now in the 1891 census Janes sister Annie was with parents William and Ann but also in the same census was Mary Ann Raybould nee Wilkes William Wilkes daughter there was a relative staying Annie Wilkes born 1878
My question is Annie staying with Mary Ann Raybould her daughter,niece or Janes daughter before she married? CONFUSED

What was Annie's father's name on the wedding cert and how do you know that Jane was living at the Alfred St address in 1895? Also, who were the witnesses?
