  Margaret Connor   born  1896, Liverpool, married my grandfather, Roy Hepworth, Ogley in Liverpool
   Feb, 1921. her fathers name on the marriage certificate is William Connor. I have been working on
   the assumption her father was William Connor b 1861, married Mary Gallagher b 1865, but the
   problem is I cannot join these three people together, the Connors had four children. but I cannot put
   Margaret with this family any advice would be really helpful.   regards Steve

What was her father’s occupation on marriage certificate?

Were the witnesses related?

Where have you got the name Gallagher from? I can only find one Margaret Connor birth registered in Liverpool in 1896 and the mmn is given as Moore. A William Connor married a Kate Moore June 1894 Liverpool 8b 318
Smith Tiplady Boulton Branthwaite King Miller Woolfall Bretherton Archer and many more

The Connor/Moore birth doesn’t match the 1939 birthdate.  :-\

Was she definitely born in Liverpool?
Do you have the witness’ names?

Don't know why other than members of the family mentioned a brother named William, there is a William in this family.

I have been checking on freeBMD and there is no Hepworth/Connor marriage in 1921 and the only one around this time is in 1920 is Lilian H to John C.

Not in Lancashire Marriages on ancestry either.

Also, the earliest Roy Hepworth birth is 1911 and the earliest marriage 1936.

Can we see the marriage certificate you have?
Richardson, Sherman, Gillam, Hitchcock, Neighbour, Groom, Walton, Strange, Littleford, Brown, Guy, Abbs, Tasker, Bartlett, Farey, Etteridge

Have you found your Connor family in the 1901 and 1911 censuses?

I only had a very quick look on the census but noticed there are couple of Margaret Connors in Lancashire born around 1896. None have a father William though there could be a number of reasons - eg death, away at the time of the census etc.  :-\

The comma in the wrong place in the OP's first post may have caused confusion. This looks like the marriage.

Ogley    Roy H    Conner   
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
