Thanks for the replies everyone. Yes, her adopted father was also called Joseph.

I think it is safe to say that the fathers name on the marriage certificate is incorrect. I will do some more digging and see what I can find out about her birth parents. Thanks again  :)

I have an instance where someone gave different fathers, one the adoptive, in two marriages and others who gave either their real father or the adoptive father.

There is a family who fits with a George and Sarah.

George Robson married Sarah Wright in Gateshead in 1859

Children on GRO:-
John George Liddell 1859
Peter 1862
Andrew Liddell 1867
Joseph 1870
Elizabeth Jane 1873
Mary Ann 1875
Sarah Ann 1875

Mary Ann and Sarah Ann baptised in Gateshead on 11th May 1875
Daughters of George Liddell and Sarah Robson

1871
Sarah Robson Blacksmith's wife Wife b 1843 Wickham, Durham
Andrew Robson Male 3 1868 b Gateshead, Durham
Joseph Robson Male 0 1871 b Gateshead Durham
