I'll start with grandad William James Brymner. Born 8.9.1924 (not sure where yet) married as you say in 1956 to Mary. 1 daughter born in 1957 (probably your friend). William James died 29.6.1993. His address at the time, 37, Thornton Road, Hulme, Manchester. He left a probate record.

The marriage should list her father's name and occupation unless she was illegitimate.

As always needs careful checking, a comprehensive tree on Anc* would/does confirm William's dob & death as posted. He would appear to be the son of William Brymner & Sarah Stewart. They also had a daughter Arrabella born 1926 in same reg district as William James (Plantation) who died in 1999. This tree shows "private for the spouse of William James Brymner"

Info only

Register of voters at 32 Middlesex St Glasgow 1951

William Brymner
William J Brymner
Annabella Brymner
Stewart Brymner 1938-2022

as above 1952 -  no Stewart

as above 1956-57  just William & William j. This would appear to be after his marriage to Mary Carmel

There are quite a few Mary McDonnells registered in Dublin around that date.
Does your friend know Mary’s exact birthday (day and month) even if she isn’t positive about the year.

As already posted, it would be useful to have the name of her father on the marriage certificate.  Also, it is possible a sister or other family was a witness which would help too.

This might be the record OP has seen and thinks is for the correct Mary McDonnell-

Unfortunately the online births on Irish Genealogy only go up to 1921.
