Found another thread from 2013 also.

Janet,

You need to order Maud's birth certificate:

Births Mar 1885
RYLES Maud Louisa Barrow In Furness 8e 837

Her mother Elizabeth was unmarried when Maud was born so Joseph Ryles is probably a made up name.

Your previous thread says her mother was unmarried when Maud was born so "Joseph" could have been a made up name.
