I am looking for any connections both forward and back. I know that no father appears on her marriage certificate and therefore I have no cross reference if I obtain a birth certificate .I am hoping I shall find connections insome other way. She married a widower with 4 children and then had several of her own my grandma included.

Have you found the couple in all censuses from 1881 to 1911? (wondering if her mother was maybe staying with them at some point maybe?)

Thankyou Jan
The most likely seems to be Hannah and here we come to a stop as we have no father and none on the marriage certificate. Witnesses give no clues there are no recog nisible names
