So Ann Elizabeth JONES...   should I ask for just the mothers names to be checked if its given as Ann/Anne/Annie/Jane JONES,   

or should I also ask them to check that there is no fathers name given?

I'm thinking not about asking for the fathers name to be checked as if the mother lied and used the family name Jones instead of Kitching she might have also given a fathers name to as something like Edgar or Joseph Jones?

Or she may have given her own dad's name.

We haven't found a Bella that fits yet though,have we?

I agree with carol8353, so I'd just ask for the mother's name and whether there is a father's name or if blank.  :)

I wonder if this could be Bella getting married?

Marriages Jun 1928
KITCHING  Isobel  Bannister  Louth  7a  1679

I can't find a her birth record, or a death on BMD records for Isobel Bannister, I thought it'd be helpful by giving her age.

Thomas W Bannister to Isobel Kitching yes I agree it might be her.  :)  I couldn't find a birth entry for her either.   :-\
