where have you looked so far?

Do you have a middle name for her?

Checked the 1911 census to verify her parents and her birthplace?

Have you looked on freebmd for her birth reg

When you find her fathers birthplace from the 1911 entry - you can search for his birth on the same website

Camberwell would be the Registration District for Peckham - if indeed she was born there as well as marrying there.

Middle name Alexandra perhaps?

[CaroleW]

No middle name shown on the marriage reg - she married Camberwell March qtr 1928

[Mort29]

yes, I saw that the OP had detailed the marriage. Middle names were not always stated.

and sadly that her father died early 1900s, so obviously there is more information to be gleaned.

[CaroleW]

If she was born 1908/09 - father may still have been alive in 1911

[Mort29]

yes, would be good to know how early 1900s after her birth.

what I was driving at was if her fathers death is known about, what other details may be known.

you still there wjough ?
