It looks like that from the census.

I haven't found them in 1891 yet.

No luck finding them in 1891,.

The Annie Baker posted earlier seems too young to be her but I can't find any other possibilities.

The marriage cert will give their ages and the names of their fathers and make her easier to find.

i think the one u posted was correct. i onyl had a rough idea on her year of birth and all the dates fit in with what i had on her children, give or take a few years
thanks for all ur help!
