Hi 

I am trying to help a friend 

her late mother was born Hilda May Irons, 1919, Reg, Glanford Brigg .

the parents of that lady were William John Irons and Alice Mary Cook, who's marriage was registered
June 1908, Glenford Brigg,

my question 
is there anyway of finding out where William or Alice originated from.

Hi Eilleen

You could do this....

Find them on the 1911 Census -  which would give you ages and pob
http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx?4

Was their first child a son named Frank born around, or just after mid 1910?
If so, I think they are indexed on the 1911 in Lincolnshire, Glanford Brigg as :
John IRONS age 28
Mary IRONS age 23
Frank IRONS age 9 mths

I could not find then indexed under the full forenames.

If this is confirmed then, you could get the full Census transcript or image for extra information and then  you can start using FreeBMD to narrow down birth registrations and from there to the Census.

Cheers

The marriage took place on 29 June 1908 at St John's Church, Scunthorpe:
William John IRONS, 25, Bachelor, Labourer; Abode - Scunthorpe; Father - John IRONS, "Bobber"
Alice Mary COOK, 21, Spinster; Abode - Scunthorpe; Father - Walton COOK, Labourer
Witnessed by Walton COOK, Frances HOLMES

Incidentally a 'bobber' is a metal polisher, or someone who unloaded fishing boats.

This looks like Alice in the 1891 census at Westwoodside which is in the Isle of Axholme:

RG12/2628 folio 83

High Street
Walter COOK, Head, Married, 26, Miner (Iron); Born Yaddlethorpe, Lincs
Emma Elizabeth COOK, Wife, Married, 23; Born South Kelsey, Lincs
Alice Mary COOK, daughter, 3; Born Westwoodside, Lincs
Charles COOK, Son, 1; Born Ashby, Lincs

Earlier census returns correctly list her father as being Walton COOK.

There is an obituary in the Scunthorpe & Frodingham Star 21/3/1953 for a Mrs Alice Mary IRONS who died aged 65.
