Do you have any dates? There are several Maud Englands on the 1901 census, but none linked to Bethnal Green; there are several Englands in Bethnal Green in 1901, but none named Maud.

Approximate dates of her birth, marriage, and death, and any other details you might have like name of her husband and names of any of her brothers and sisters you know.

Maud was born in 1905, Albert 1903? william 1902? ronnie 1906? Lucy 1909?There father was William England, born County Mayo in 1880-85.It might have been Shoreditch but quite certain it was Bethnal Green

freebmd.rootsweb.com has birth indexes, supposedly at 100% (some can be missing) for 1900-1909.

There is a Maud England b. Dec quarter 1904 in Edmonton, includes:
Edmonton, Enfield, Hampstead (1837-48), Hornsey, Southgate, Tottenham, Wood Green, also one b. Shoreditch in 1908.  I can't find any of the listed children in Bethnal Green, or a marriage for William England there.

If you could find a birth for Maud that would give you both her parents' names and then you could look for the parents' marriage.  There's only one William England b. Ireland in the 1901 census, and he's in Devonport, aged 28, a soldier.

Do you know when Maud married, and what her father's occupation was?

All I know is that they came from the East End of london. Maud married Walter king around 1928/29 and my father  Edward Arthur was born in Bethnal Green 1931.I think William England married a Rose Whitmore.

Can I suggest that you try and find Maud's marriage certificate?  You could see if the witnesses were relatives.

I don't know when she got married.It has to be before 1931 as my father was born in 1931.
