Hi Erika,
Yes, that's her! Well done for finding her. Maybe she never married.
I'm off to York Library tomorrow, apparently you can access Ancestry and Find My Past as well.
Thanks again xx

Hi,

All born in North Bierley.

Thank you!
I've got Ada born in 1905? So a marriage could be around 1925?
Unless I have the wron Ada.
I'll check any marriages around that time.
