Wow, thanks guys, lots to go on here, it all seems to add-up.
Lessons learnt for me, don't stick rigidly to the spelling of names !

Thanks again Mike, this is more than I was hoping for, much appreciated.
Wrong first name and changes to the spelling of the surname, written as it was spoken at the time perhaps ?
I am sure that these leads will set me on the right track to gather more details.

Thanks Mike, sounds like a good lead for me to follow-up, was always concerned about possible spelling anomalies with the surname, had not considered alternative first names.

Hi Patchem,
Thanks for the reply, yes I have found Mary Jane on the following;
1901 Census, 1911 Census, Marriage Register & 1918 London Electoral Register - but only mention of her father Edward Woolmer is in the Marriage Register.

First timer on Message Board looking for help and advice please.

I have reached a 'dead-end' on one branch of my Family Tree; 2 x Great Grandfather believed to be Edward Woolmer ?

Only evidence is on London Marriage & Banns Register (1754 - 1921) of his daughter, (paternal Great Grandmother) Mary Jane Woolmer (1881 to 1919) to Thomas William Coomber on 2nd November 1901 at St. Matthias Church, Poplar, London.
Occupation of Edward is stated as miner ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, had a good start to my family history research since starting earlier this year but progress now beginning to slow-up.
