You say you have her birth cert so exactly where was she born?

Match that location on the Genuki link above

Table 1B: List of Places in Kington Registration District (1870-1974)
  which tells you whether that location was Hereford or Radnor

If Hereford - English
If Radnor - Welsh

Hi CaroleW.
Thanks for that.
It proves that my Great Gran was English and Not Welsh.
She was born in Brilley, Sub Registration District. in 1892.
Thank You again for your help.
