Why do you think that Leah Walker was born in 1894 Janice? Do you know when she died?

For reference the marriage -

Marriages Sep 1912
Latham Charles H Walker Aston 6d 600
Walker Leah Latham Aston 6d 600

Could this be her birth and death?

Births Mar 1888
WALKER Leah Birmingham 6d 157

Name: Leah Latham
Death Registration Month/Year: 1948
Age at death (estimated): 59
Registration district: Birmingham
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume: 9c
Page: 225

Do you have the name of Leah's father from her marriage cert?

It would make it easier to make a more certain identification of her in census material.

Or her address on marriage cert - there's always a chance she might have been living there in 1911.

Thanks everyone for your help in tracing Leah Walker. I know that she died when Leah(1912) and John (1916) were very young, we think in 1929 aged 35 years. I am going to send for the masrriage cert. and see if it helps anymore.

If this is her death Janice -

Name: Leah Latham
Death Registration Month/Year: 1929
Age at death (estimated): 35
Registration district: Birmingham North
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume: 6d
Page: 856

the most likely birth would be this one. Not in the same area though -

Births Sep 1893
Walker Leah Prestwich 8d 365

The only other birth in the time frame is a Leah Gertrude Walker.
