Thank you so much I think I will buy some credit and have a look today.
David and Astra you have beena great help. Next step is to get the marriage cert and check 1911 census.
Many Thanks for your help and time x

A quick look at the 1911 tells us that she said she was 19 when the census was taken which makes her year of birth 1891/2 depending when her birthday fell.. Without paying to look I can't find out where she was born.

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!

You really need to order their marriage certificate. This will give you her father's name and her age and give you a better chance of finding her and where she came from. Are you sure she was born in London? Girls usually marry in their home town or did her parents move north when she was a child?
Have you checked the 1911 census to see if it says where she was born?
Here is the marriage reference.

Marriages Sep 1910 (>99%)
BAILEY Elizabeth Knaresbro 9a 172
>>Johnson Nora Knaresbro 9a 172
>>Wheatley Albert E Knaresbro 9a 172
Whincup Edward O Knaresbro 9a 172

Have you got her birth and her parents marriage references?

Births Sep 1916 Knaresbro 9a 162

Wheatley Dorothy mmn Johnson

Marriages Sep 1910 Knaresbro 9a 172

Johnson Nora
Wheatley Albert E

Since there are numerous Nora Johnsons on freeBMD and the 1901 census you need her fathers name and occupation from her marriage cert, that should also give her age and any witnesses that may be related to her.

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help at all.
My Grandmother was Dorothy Ellison nee Wheatley and was born 17/06/1916 in Knaresborough. Her father was Albert Wheatley born 1890 in Harrogate. I have traced this line further back. I am struggling with her mum though I have her as Nora Johnson born in 1890 in London but cannot find out her parents. Maybe her birth year is wrong! Any help would be most appreciated. Its a big gapping gap in my tree.
Many Thanks Vickie
