Thank you all for your help. I ordered the certificate for Mary A McCabe to Mentesh Ali however that is not our Mary, too many discrepancies. I found the marriages to Sinclair and Dixon which has now led me to find her death, took two years to get this far!

We just cant find any trace of her from 1953 (newspapers when she was a naughty girl!) to 1975 when she married James Sinclair in Scunthorpe. Perhaps we'll never know what happened between 1953 and 1975.

Thanks everyone

I have researched my relative, Mary McCabe on the 1939 Register. I have found the same person on the register twice. On the first entry her name appears to have been Mary McCabe changed to Mary Marie Ali and on the second entry her name is Mary McCabe - Marie Ali - Mary Sinclair - Mary Dixon. i understand that Mary McCabe married James Sinclair and divorced then married Alfred Dixon. I cannot find a marriage to anyone called Ali though.

My question is, what are all the codes meaning. On the first entry the green ink is - 24.10.66 22.2.61 CR283 KHU zhed SUN

The 2nd entry has a lot more codes - CR283 2283 KHU 4.3.78 ECIA KHU then 24.10.66 CR283 KHU 1/2 m/c 22.2.61 SUN.

I know that she lived in Sunderland and Scunthorpe, she was married in 1975 and 1982 and died in 1982.

I wonder if she changed her name by deed poll to Marie Ali would there be a record? 

I have no idea why Mary is on two records!

She's a real enigma, the only information we have for certain is:

She was born on 19th April 1933 in Sunderland
Had a daughter in 1961
Daughter was adopted in circa 1968
Married in Scunthorpe in 1975
Married in Scunthorpe in 1982
Died in 1982.

I have never found any children named Rose unfortunately. I am wondering whether John's first wife was the mother of Thomas then she died and he remarried Margaret and had Georgiana in 1852.

Problem is that I need to know who John's first wife was and can't seem to find a marriage prior to Margaret. They are both widowers at marriage in 1849 but can't find either of their previous marriages.

If he married in 1868 (as in your initial post) then it's likely him in 1861 census but now you say marriage was 1855 which means he had to have been born much earlier.

Sorry I am getting myself confused. He did marry is 1868. Thomas seems to have been born circa 1847 from the recent census' and his death cert. so I assume that his mother is not Margaret Flaherty nee Hussey.

On the entry it appears that both John and Margaret are widowers which points to the fact Thomas may have been born to John's first wife. I think 

On second thoughts that may not be my Thomas. He was born approx. 1847 in Ireland according o the census' of 1871 onwards.
