You would expect to see a fathers name on a mariage cert so that seems to infer she was born illegitimately.

There are 2 surnames for Mary given in the marriage index, how is her full name recorded?

I thought Mary was born 1920 (death index). Anyway she may have been born before her mother married

Mar 1926
Aken, John T, sp Habbs    Lanchester    10a   443
Hobbs, Bertha, sp Aken    Lanchester    10a   443

See number 39

Or the person who registered her death didn't know how old she was
