But there is an image of a baptism register page that has her born on 30 April and baptised on 6th Jun 1930. Transcript by me:

Notes for George & Mary (Family)
The transcript from an image of the marriage register, by me:
“ Page 64
“1846. Marriage solemnized at St Peter’s Church in the parish of Stoke upon Trent in the County
“ of Stafford
“No: 127
“Date Dec 6
His Hers
“Name: George Rowe Mary Platt
“Age: Full age Minor
“Condition: Bachelor Spinster
“Profession: Potter -
“Residence: Stoke Stoke
“Father: George Rowe George Platt
“Father’s job: Bootmaker Potter
“Married in the Parish Church according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church
“ by Banns by me (possibly) Thos Riddell
“This Marriage was solemnized between us: George Rowe’s X Mark Mary Platt’s X Mark
“In the presence of us: Aaron Heath’s X Mark Elizabeth heath’s X Mark
_______________________________
But some of the above does not make sense.
In 1971 George gave his age as 40, giving a birth year of 1831 and
Mary was given the age of 30 giving a birth year of 1841.
If this was correct, George was a mere 15 at marriage and Mary was a bare 4.
I need to see what can be found in 1851 and 1861 in the censuses.
_______________________________
Goerge and Mary had a mere 16 children.
5 of them died before maturity, 3 before they were 2.
The remaining 13 children had children, all 58 of them. Grandchildren that is.
