Hi

There is an Ada Elizabeth Ask registered in Goole (Yorkshire) in the September qtr of 1875 - this would have made her 16 at the time of the marriage!  Do you think she might have lied about her age?  I can't see another one on 1872/3.

The UK BMD indexes can be viewed free on Ancestry.co.uk.

THe likeliest girl I see in 1891 is this one (not much help):

1891
RG12/727 42 32
Margate, Kent
1 Sandringham (something)
Ada Aske, serv, 17, General servant domestic, b. Hampshire Portsmouth

in the household of Mary J (or I) Bayne, 52, living on own means.

Fits in nicely with her age in 1901 and on the marriage cert  :)

This Ada is with her parents in 1891.

Websl
Does the marriage cert give Ada's fathers name.
