W.A. marriage certs include the name of the Fathers' and their occupations, but not the Bride's mothers name. The W.A. birth certs include the Mother's name, age, birthplace, marriage date, and previous children (of the marriage).
Does the address for Mary Louisa TERRY in England prior to departure on the SS Victor 1894, confirm her parentage? (53 Horseferry Road, Westminster SW)
