Trying to find the parents of Lucy Mary WRAGG born 5 May 1912, York, Yorkshire; died june 1992 in York. Her mother's maiden name was Dixon.
Any help gratefully appreciated. I've tried trawling through Wragg/Dixon marriage records but without any dates and first names, it's very difficult.
thanks.

Researching:
Burnham, Cumberland, Finch, Geraghty, Smales, Sprentall, Wragg

There are three Wragg/Dixon marriages between 1890 and 1912 in Yorkshire. Two are in Sheffield and one in Bridlington. The one in Bridlington is nearer to York so it is possible that that is the one:-

Name: WRAGG, William
Registration District: Bridlington
County: Yorkshire
Year of Registration: 1906
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912
Volume No: 9D
Page No: 677

On the same page is Lily Agnes Dixon.

In the 1911 census this couple are living in York so it seems to be right although buying the birth certificate is the only certain way of knowing:-


WRAGG, William Head Married M 34 1877 Farm Labourer Heworth Yorks
WRAGG, Lily Agnes Wife Married 4 years F 34 1877 Bridlington Yorks
WRAGG, Dorothy Lilian Daughter F 3 1908 Castleford Yorks
WRAGG, Olive Mary Daughter F 1 1910 Acomb Yorks

Address:
Acaster Malbis Near York
