John, my pleasure (my credits are mine to use when I get interested on something - so don't worry about that please  ). We like puzzles... You are not in Scotland, I can see. Makes things so much harder to research particularly with common surnames.

I do think we now have your Annie's birth. We/you could try to find her 1911 census entry and death cert. All just help confirm details further.

Guessing you have all the details on her family, James father and mother Teresa and their ancestors?

Thank goodness that Annie's middle name of McManus was used on her death reg in 1964 at the age of 67. Happy now me...you too should feel you have main key details now

Still searching the Annie McManus Kelly,her mother was Theresa Kelly nee Carson,she had one child with James Kelly ( Annie McManus Kelly )he was born 1932,but Theresa had four daughters and one son,with another James Kelly born around 1850,it appears my great granny was married twice

[Forfarian]

According to her wedding certificate in 1920 she was 21 years old that would make her birth year 1899,???

Not necessarily. Suppose someone was born on 1 October 1880 and got married on 1 April 1885. They would not have had their birthday yet in 1885, so would still be only 24, not 25.

Also don't forget that many people didn't really know exactly when they were born, or couldn't work out correctly how old they were.
