Dear Samantha,

I can't find her birth other than on freebmd. There is a tree on Familysearch in the Pedigree Resource File (Mary Stockley 1888 Stockport) which has her parents and ancestors back to the 18th century.

Richard

have you got their marriage cert?

it would hopefully give addresses, ages and details of George's father to help locate the Dixons on censuses etc
