If she was born before 1911 you can search for her in 1911 census-

Civil registration index is also online free:

If you haven't much information to start with then her marriage certificate/birth certificate will give you more details.

With more details we might be able to suggest other sources you can check.

Thank you aghadowey, but my gran was born before 1911
the only marriage certificate I have is of her second marrage
and that was in Scotland I have tried the things you said but
with know luck  yet but will not give up

Was her surname really Humphires? or perhaps Humphries/Humphreys?

Scottish marriage certificates give lots of details. How old would she have been in 1911? what were her parents' names?

several possible families in Bray town.. although none have a daughter named Catherine :

 Thomas Humphries and family - Convent Avenue
 William Humphreys and family - Cliftons Lane
 and others in Newcourt Strand and St. Albans Terrace

I still think her surname is Humphries or Humphreys not Humphires. Where are they in 1911 census?

Shane thank you for your help,my gran was born about 1890 in Bray so there is a chance it could be one
there grans or great grans or aunts

Have you found Michael and Catherine in 1911 census? Catherine's age is very vague ('about 1890' or 'about 1896') and census would give better indication of her age and date of marriage.
