Thank you all.

All very strange. All the children after 1911 had mother's maiden name as Wigley with no changes

Before 1911 variations of Wheatley, Wheekly, Weekley, Weetly. I can understand those variations but they are all totally different to Wigley

I wonder if there were two mothers? Also looks like the "May" in 1939 should have been Mary.

Goodness knows where Mary was born and which of the variations is correct

Drat!!

Do you have any of the childrens births certs?

The family in the above census are still at the same address in 1934 when Emily marries. If the address on birth is different, then you can rule the 1899 marriage out.

Hi again Abby

I saw that marriage but I don't think its the one. This is John Greenslade married to Mary Ann Weekley I believe as there is a Census that supports this

????

Marriages Jun 1899 (>99%)
Bushley Henry Frank Croydon 2a 522
Greenslade John Croydon 2a 522
Horsley May Ethel Croydon 2a 522
Weekley Mary Ann Croydon 2a 522

John and May had at least 4 children -
Mary Ann 1912
Violet 1916
Frederick 1919
Winniw M 1922
All born in Croydon

John was born in Croydon . John and May's birth dates come from the 1939 Census

My problem is that a) I cannot find May Wigley's birth or in any Census.
b) cannot find John in 1901 nor 1911
c) cannot find their marriage

What am I missing? Can anyone help please?
