Hello. I am wondering if one of you kind people with knowledge of Cumberland could please help with this.
Mary Elizabeth GRAHAM was born around 1883 in Maryport, Cumberland, the daughter of Joseph GRAHAM. I know this from her marriage registration (under the name Mary Elizabeth MCGOVERN in South Australia in 1928). She married on 3 November 1928 aged 45 years (birth c1883). She died on 19 December 1980 aged 97 years (birth c1883). Further details on sources are available here:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Graham-16368.
I am unclear which registration district Maryport would have been in, as Maryport itself is not a district (
https://www.freebmd.org.uk/county-map.html).
Assuming the approximate year of birth and locality are correct, she could be one of the following (From FreeBMD):
