There is a death in 1929, Halifax, for Mary Wardle birth abt 1866.

This seems to be her birth registration in Q1 1866, so it could tie in with the age given in June 1921

Thank you for your help with this one.  I'm working through it and trying to decide which certificate will be most helpful - having had one nonmatch I can't afford too many of those.

Can't find Arthur or May on the 1939. Where am I going wrong with my searches? I'm using Ancestry.

Hi
From May's birth registration it looks likely that the Mary Hanson who married Arthur Wardle was a widow, nee Brown.
But I guess you need one of the marriages to be sure it is the daughter of Anthony Thomas. Which one would be best? I don't know.
It's not something you have to rush into though.

Free index to 1939 on findmypast has
Arthur Wardle, born 1878
May Wardle, born 1902
Living at 11 Savile Parade, Halifax C.B.

I think on ancestry they are transcribed as Warale.

It's good news!

The marriage certificate arrived this morning.

Arthur Wardle and Mary Hanson were married on 30 June 1900.

She is described as a widow (Deceased husband's name not given). Daughter of Anthony Thomas Brown (deceased).

Thank you for help in tracing this through.
