Her birth:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Sep 1896 (>99%)

__________________
Her marriage could be one of these but the first is not close to Cambridge and the second has her aged 47 or so:
Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Jun 1920 (>99%)
Prime Tom Townsend Shardlow 7b 1766
Townsend Trilby M Prime Shardlow 7b 1766
Marriages Sep 1943 (>99%)
Hayward Douglas R O Townsend Cambridge 3b 1115
Townsend Trilby M Hayward Cambridge 3b 1115
TFPL, Dec 2018: On mature thoughts both of these look like her marriages. Tom Prime may have been divorced or died. So I have re-examined the records through FindMyPast.
