The only marriage of a BUBB to anyone called MARY in Surrey is as follows:

Marriages Jun 1935 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bubb George W married Mary Lownsbrough Surrey N.E. 2a 172

Checked in the 1911 census for a Mary Lownsbrough, none showing that were born c1907

There are a lot of deaths on FreeBMD for Mary Bubb's but none in Surrey for the relevant timescale.
Do you know her husband's first name?

Hi Christine,
I also found that birth. I did check the 1911 census for the Thomas family in Blackpool, and only found them with their son. Mary not with them at that time.

Joseph Lownsbrough married Ellen Orritt in 1912, these could be the parents of Mary.

Looks like Joseph Lownsbrough died 1934, Ormskirk, Lancashire - aged 50

Looks like Ellen Lownsbrough died 1918, Ormskirk, Lancashire - aged 33.

Mary would only have been 5 when her mother died!!!

It would appear that Mary also had a brother born in 1917, Ormskirk district and its possible that he too died in 1918, aged 1, Ormskirk district
