I believe her name was Alathen do not know maiden name. The marriage in Stourbridge is not them, they were married in 1920 according to my mother and she was born in 1921.

If 'they' were married in 1920 and her mother born 1921 'they' would be her grandparents not great grandparents....so it makes sense that Susan's Great Grandparents were married in 1890's

Thanks Jenna and Pam. My sincere apologies I got all mixed up, the info you have found is the right ones. I gave you dates for grandparents instead od great grandparents.Am really pleased about great grans birth as I was told she never had her birth registered and had great problems in later life because of that!
