Rummaging around for Mary (without success), I found that, interestingly, Mary's mother is named as Alice Maud at her baptism.
Presumably just a mistake:


Baptism entry

County Lincolnshire
Place Scunthorpe
Church name St John
Register type
Register entry number 58
Baptism date 21 Sep 1890
Person forename Mary Ethel
Person sex F
Person abode Scunthorpe
Father forename James
Father surname GRAY
Father occupation Labourer
Mother forename Alice Maud 99%)
ELWIS Alice Marian Glanford B. 7a 1455
Gray James Glanford B. 7a 1455


Throughout the 1891-1911 censuses posted on page 1 of this thread, she's Alice Maria

I assume this is her marriage, from FreeBMD. There's no sign of this marriage on FreeReg2 in the Parish Registers:
Marriages Jun 1877 (>99%)
ELWIS Alice Marian Glanford B. 7a 1455
Gray James Glanford B. 7a 1455


And her birth - name as you said in your OP , Jane:

Births Mar 1859 (>99%)
ELVIDGE Alice Maria Thorne 9c 489


EDIT - later:

But on the baptism transcription on FamilySearch, she's Alice Maria:


Mary Ethel Gray
England Births and Christenings
Name:
Mary Ethel Gray
Gender:
Female
Christening Date:
21 Sep 1890
Christening Place:
Saint Johns, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England
Father's Name:

Mother's Name:
Alice Maria

I just wish it could have been positive, rather than the opposite.

Thanks Jacqueline.

Well that confirms that my Mary Ethal Gray did not marry George Stainton.

Thanks for all your help

Jane

This is the birth of the woman who married Stainton (just for absolute confirmation)


Births Sep 1889 (>99%)
Gray Mary Ethel Pancras 1b 60


And 1891/1901 with her father Charles

Thanks ArgyllGran

So that means she didn't marry Charles Would and she didn't marry George Stainton. So perhaps she was the other child that died. Strange I couldn't see a deat for her.

thanks for helping

Jane

Thanks ArgyllGran and Yvonne

I do not know anything about him. I only found out about a possible marriage today. But if the 1911 census is correct then it doesn't look as if she married him. I will have to take another look at the marriage between a Mary E gray and a mr Charles W Would in Gainsborough Mar 1914. I am just guessing here I have no idea if she married or not.

Jane

Deaths Dec 1951 (>99%)
STAINTON George W 63 Louth 3b 321

Do you know any more about George Stainton?

Where and when born? Occupation?

For info

Hannah Gray was her sister and she went on to marry Harry Kirk.

Jane

I have had a look at the deaths on FreeBMD and I can't find her there. So I guess she must be hiding somewhere.

Thanks again

Jane

That's true she seems to have disappeared off the 1901. I will have to have a look into that. I can account for one of the children who died but not the other so perhaps it was her. I will take a closer looks at the deaths.

All the best

Hi Jacqueline.

Thanks for your help

Well that extra information from the 1911 census makes me think that maybe this is not my Mary Ethal. Oh dear further investigation is required.

All the best

Jane

Thanks Jacqueline.

Yes I did. I found 5 possibles all born Louth..
Georgina M b 1912
Frederick C b1914
John b 1920
Joan b 1921
Basil born 1929

However I didn't know about Charles.

also there was only one marriage beween a Gray and Stainton so they had to be hers. I had previously thought that she married a MR Would in 1914. Which just goes to show that you have to confirm everything you find.

Thanks again for helping me

Jane.
