Welcome to GR Rachael.


I see on the marriage registration she has the middle initial "A"

(Ah, you have edited and added the "A")


Marriages Jun 1930 (>99%)
Cook William E Thompson W.Derby 8b 981
Thompson Mary A Cook W.Derby 8b 981

There are a few possible Mary A Thompson's on the 1911 census.

The best thing to do would be to purchase a copy of her marriage certificate, in order to find out the details of her father. The witnesses might be family members too.

The best place to order certs is online here........

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/

The cost is £9.25

so she had a middle initial

That you everyone. I have just found my grandfather's birth certificate which shows that Marys name was Mary Agnes Thompson and also I forgot to add that she was born on the 11th April 1904.

Is this her death registration.......

??

Name: Mary Agnes Cook
Birth Date: 11 Apr 1904
Date of Registration: Dec 1992
Age at Death: 88
Registration district: Halton
Inferred County: Cheshire
Volume: 35
Page: 655

Are you certain that she was born in Liverpool ??

Are you saying that Mary Agnes' date of birth was on her son's birth certificate?

Yes that's her death certificate.
I was always told she was but I can't find any records of her other than marriage and death.

I am not seeing a birth registered for a Mary Agnes Thompson in 1904.

Is it possible that she had been married before ?

No sorry Margee, that was an error I forgot to put her date of birth on first post.

I think you are going to need a copy of the marriage certificate on this one Rachael.

Prickles. :o))
