Mary Jane LEEK

[postman]

Looking for a Mary Jane Leek born 1846ish in Shrewsbury,ive found her in the 1881 census living in Yorkshire married to Samuel Bray of Bilston,Staffs but can't get any further back than this.
                            Thanks

Things which may help you (or others) locate her in previous census.

Does she have kids of age 9+ in 1881? That'll help identify where she was in ~1871.

Have you found the marriage; When/where did that take place?

Have you found a GRO birth entry which tallys with "1846ish shrewsbury"
If not, then what are the alternatives in date/geography?
