I have hit a brick wall, can anyone help please? Elizabeth Brown born 1893 died 1959 Birkenhead,Cheshire, married John McCormick 1914, , I have her birth and marriage certificates and her father was William John Brown, the nearest I can make out her mother was Elizabeth Ann ? Harthern, but it is very difficult to read. I can't find a marriage entry for William and Elizabeth, and the census entries don't marry up. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Lyndsey,
I have this record but the children don't seem to fit with William and Elizabeth, I ordered Eliza Browns birth certificate but was told that parents names were not William Brown and Elizabeth. Can not find a marriage record for William and Elizabeth that fits Elizabeths surname. Only marriage record I can find for william is 1883 and the female's name is Brown, which looks nothing like name on Elizabeths birth certificate.
