Hello I have the birth certificate for my grandmother and was hoping to at least find information about her grandparents however I am really struggling using Ancestry. Her birth name was Eliza Freeman, born 30th Augiust 1887 in South Hackney. Looks like 7 Tudor Road. I have been unable to find a marriage for parents William and Mary Jane or even their deaths. I have found them on the 1901 census which I will try and post but that is all. I hope that you might be able to find something for me. Thank you Angela

In 1881 the wife is called Mary Ann:

There's no record of her birth in Wellingborough RD, which would include Wilby as stated in 1901.
I agree they weren't married.

"Cordwinder" will be cordwainer, which is a shoemaker.
ADDED: In fact, now that I've looked at the image, it definitely says "cordwainer".
