Who Did Thomas Steen Marry?

[wilcoxon]

Births Dec 1890   
Steen  Mary Jane    Wrexham  11b 240

Wouldn`t the birth certificate gave mother maiden name ? That would be a start.

Many thanks Farlane and wilcoxon for your replies.Well Farlane the baptism could prove very useful.There is only one Martha Steen in Wrexham 1891-1911 and it the one who married Thomas.

Just for consideration - Banns were read at Brymbo on 9th, 16th and 23 Nov 1890 for a Thomas Steen and Ellen Dodd but I can't find a marriage.
Marriage Dec qtr 1893 at Wrexham (civil marriage) for Thomas Steen and one of the brides is Ellen Dodd.  Could Ellen also be known as Martha?

If Mary J was 5 months old on 5th April 1891 that would make her born Nov/Dec 1890 - did baby arrive before the wedding day which was postponed?

14 Temple Row is mentioned 19 times in the Advertiser, but all are in the  advertising section  and it seems to be an office of one sort or another .
