Depends how accurate you want your information to be.

You could try to find the christening records at the local records office and hope the mother's maiden name is on there.

Steven

Steven Report 7 May 2010 23:57

Steven

Steven Report 7 May 2010 23:55

When you suss out which marriage to send for you can cross check it's the right one by the father's name on the cert.

:
If you recognise these names then Mary's maiden name would be on any one of the children's birth certificates
