Kate MUNN married William F E SHEPPARD in Mitcham, Surrey on 28th July 1907. The cert says she was 25 at the time. Her father was George Munn, a gardener.
A witness on the marriage cert is Eliza Munn.

We believe that the family came from Kent. In the 1901 census there are 2 Kate Munns born Kent c1882 but they are both servants. I have the same problem with the 1891.

Can anyone see something I have missed or does anyone have any ideas how to find Kate without ordering every Kate Munn birth cert?

Thank you

Thank you for all of your replies.

I am researching this family for my partner (Adam). His father is deceased and his grandmother has Alzheimers. His grandfather is also deceased.
Kate and William would be his great grandparents on his fathers side and the family stories (of which there are not many) say that Kates family came from Kent.
I have traced the Sheppard side and they are all from the Mitcham area.
William Sheppard seems to be missing from the 1901 census.
