Locating Mary Jane Wignall

[Red Tom]

I am seeking info re Mary Jane Wignall and getting nowhere fast.Born 1881 in Otterspool, Aigburth, Lancs.(baptised 06/11/'81) Father John Wignall, mother Mary Barber. Mary Jane is present in the 1891 census in Garston, Lancs. where the family permanently settled,and that's my last sighting of her. I can't find a death,marriage,or census entry in her maiden name at all.Any help would be appreciated. On the possible death issue,in the 1911 census, John Wignall stated 12 children born alive,4 died. I have positively verified all four deaths, so if Mary Jane died,it must have been after the census was taken,but still nothing has turned up.

I have seen this I think,but as all of her siblings wed and remained in Garston, I'm reluctant to look nationwide on the off chance that she married outside her home parish, but I can't discount that possibility.Would the certificate for the Blackburn marriage give details other than fathers name and occupation though?,the only chance of a link might be the names of witnesses?
