Did Catherine May Lynn marry, in which case, who did she claim as her Father on her marriage certificate?

if parents married in 1897 then Catherine was probably registered under her mother's maiden name.

In which case Patrick may not be her real father


She could be one of these ....


Births Jun 1895
May Catherine - Liverpool 8b 38
