kate and walters first child ellen was born in 1889

yes that does seem to be her if that is the only kate cornish of the area at that time the dates match also it is possible that she named one of her daughters after her mum

You need this:

Marriages Mar 1888 (96%)
ALLEN Walter Halstead 4a 536 Scan available - click to view
Conway Sarah Halstead 4a 536 Scan available - click to view
Cornish Kate Halstead 4a 536 Scan available - click to view
Cox Walter Halstead 4a 536 Scan available - click to view


From this you should have Kate's father's name - which will hopefully match with the info that Roy has posted. You'll also have her age at the date of her marriage which, with the age from the census (if it matches Roy's info) will narrow down the time span for her birth cert. (This assumes that she was not lying about her age and was not illegitimate ...)
