HI, I dont' have this documentation, only going on anecdotal evidence. her name and marriage place are accurate, and I believe she was a laundry worker prior to marriage, sorry this is extent of my knowledge.I looked at the birth records but didn't recognise her. She once said her cousin was Peggy Wood , the mother superior in the film The Sound of Music, but perhaps she was delusional.

On the marriage cert does it give any occupation for Andrew or is he just marked as deceased.

Where someone married is not really any indication for where they were born

Have you looked on FreeBMD for a possible birth

Mothers maiden names were added at the end of 1911

I am looking for any information about EVA WINIFRED WOOD born around 1912 in Lancashire . Her address at marriage was11 the Bourne Lancashire, and her father (Andrew )was deceased. I would like to trace her birthplace,parents and any siblings. She was my mother's stepmother, and my grandfather (William Benson, a soldier) married her in Ware on 24/10/1945. She had a son John at this time . they came to Belfast after this. thanks in anticipation, Hilary.
