Title: Find Date of Birth Mabel Spowage
Post by: Jack123 on Saturday 18 August 12 11:56 BST (UK)

I would like to find the date of birth of my Nan Mabel Spowage born 1890 Grantham, Lincolnshire.
Also the date of her marriage to Michael Joseph O'Connor born 14/10/1896 Newbridge, Naas, Ireland
Married in Wimbledon London around 1915 to 1920.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Marriage courtesy Free BMD:

March 1917 Grantham: Mabel E Spowage to Joseph M O'Connor Ref. 7a 739

Your best bet would be to send for the Marriage certificate.  Have you looked at the 1901 and 1911 censuses?

Why don't you send for her birth certificate. Free BMD December 1890 7a 421.  That's the only sure way to find exact dates.

There is already some information on this thread, including her birth reference number
