You need her marriage cert to find her father's name and her age.

Jun 1939

Matthias,

A very warm welcome to Rootschat.  

This looks like it could be the marriage of Matthias and Frances.

Mattias Green and Frances Walker

Registration Date Apr. May. June 1939

Registration District  Barnsley
Registration County West Yorkshire
Volume Number       9c
Page Number           596

You can order a copy of their marriage certificate online at www.gro.gov.uk I think that the current price of a certificate is £9.50

The certificate should give you the name of Frances' father and also her age at the time of her marriage which should then assist you in searching for her birth.

I hope that this is of some help to you and if I can be of any further assistance please just ask.

Best Wishes
CJL

Matthias,

I have found the registration of the birth of a Frances Walker which was registered in Barnsley in 1917.

Frances Walker
Mothers Maiden Name   Walker
Date of Registration       Jan Feb Mar 1917
Registration District        Barnsley
Registration County       Yorkshire
Volume                           9c
Page                              476

It might be best to order the marriage certificate first and see whether Frances' fathers name is recorded on the certificate and whether her age at her marriage indicates that she was born in 1917 before ordering the birth certificate. 

I do not know at this point whether you know if she was born in Barnsley or whether it is a coincidence that Frances' marriage took place in Barnsley and that there is the registration of the birth of a Frances Walker close to the time she may have been born (hope that makes sense.)

If I can be of any further help, please just ask.

Best Wishes
CJL
