I can only see one birth and marriage entry for Susan Louisa SHIRLEY, plus a corresponding death entry as YORK:

Births Dec 1887
SHIRLEY  Susan Louisa
Brixworth 3b 124

Marriages Jun 1909
SHIRLEY  Susan Louisa
(possible spouse)
YORK  William Thomas        
Brixworth 3b 276

Deaths Jun 1968
YORK  Susan Louisa
aged 81
b. 14 Oct 1887
Brixworth 3b 1188

The free index to the 1911 census at http://fmpbsol.1911census.co.uk/ shows Susan Louise YORK living in Brixworth registration district - you may wish to invest in a few credits to see the full entry, but the advanced search facility suggests that her husband is William Thomas, born c1883.

Do you have birth/death dates for John William YORK?

Hi.

Welcome to Rootschat nesslay.  :)

I wonder if you could confirm for us if your Susan Louisa was born
in Holcot and living in Pitsford in 1891.

Parents William Shirley from Long Buckby and Ellen Bunting Shirley
from Weedon.

RG 12-1208, Fol  60, Pg 17

Are you sure it wasn't William Thomas York. He married Susan Louisa Shirley in 1909 in the Brixworth district ?

Sorry my grandad s name was John Thomas York
Susan was born in Holcomb and lived with William and her dad and Jane her sister in pits ford I found that out on a census ?
But why was John born John Thomas married as William and buried John Thomas . It doesn't make sense to me

Sandy . All the info about Susan that you have messaged me are correct
Ellen was married to William , Ellen died in her forties ,
Cause Jane was with her when she died there is a family bible to confirm this
William I think in the 1911 census is left with Jane ,
Jane married a George Matthews  . They are both Jane and George buried in pitsford church just below Susan and John Thomas  York hope this helps . But Susan and John are the pain in the but .

Hi ya sandy , year I've sat in the northants records office and still can't find a marriage cert for Susan and J T York . Even spoke to the people that run the records office and the only thing they came up with was that they didn't marry in catholic church but perhaps non conformist church
