Trying to find Mary Jane Clark, her father was Richard (agricultural labourer) but was dead when she married as Jane Clark in 1882 to Thomas William Mowbray (if I have the correct marriage certificate!) I would like to find her siblings. & mother. She appears to have come from the Durham area but I am unsure about this

hi do you have dates of birth please

What was her age on the marriage cert?

Where have you had her name from if you don't know where she was from or the names of any of her parens/siblings?

How old was she when she married?

This is the only death of an adult Richard Clark in Co Durham between 1865 and 1882.

Deaths Sep 1881 (>99%)
Clark Richard 51 Lanchester 10a 150

If she was Jane on the marriage certificate why do you think she might have been born Mary Jane?
