Matilda was my grandmother. She married William Whittingham on 26th Decermber 1905 at The Parish Church (St. Martin's in thr Bullring now). Her fathers name on the wedding certificate is William Davis,dec'd, Blacksmith. Both Willliam and Matilda were 23. The ones you list are the right couple but I can't find any record of Matild's birth. Have her death certificate and her wedding certificate. Don't know how to prgress further
