If you buy their marriage cert it will ,hopefully,have their fathers names on it.
then you can look them up on the 1911 census

Researching:
PLEASE REPLY ON YOUR POST AND NOT BY PERSONAL MESSAGE unless it is of a "sensitve"matter...Thank you

You could turn it into a little puzzle exercise which will help you in later searches.

For instance you can see for free that there are 30 Hentons in Mansfield in 1911.

Only 2 in 1901. Harry c1861 and Laura c1882.

Then look at freeBMD for All Types, Hentons in Mansfield.

Then try and match people up.

For example there is one chap called Vurney/Verney and even Perney who you can see his birth and marriage. The choices of spouses then shows up his wife who can be seen on the list of 30, and so on.

You can also see mistranscriptions like Violet Letitia c1910 for example is noted as Violet Letoure in 1911.
