Deborah, could you let us know who Mary married, and when?

Where did you get her parents names from?

(Just want to double check for census searches).

hi mary married george bird around 1865/7 in blidworth. i found her fathers name on the marriage cert. i found her mother was living with mary and george in blidworth after james had died. i think Bird is spelt wrong on the census (BORD)
