Do you have her marriage certificate? do the witnesses help?

Witnesses don't appear to be family members : L.H.Onsell and P.Hockall.

The ones I found seemed the right place but father there was George?

I agree that this seems the likeliest (unless there were two Ada Bl. Holdbrook's born around the same time in the area), but its still odd that she would get her fathers name wrong - especially when it would also be her brothers name!

I will see what it says on the birth certificate - although if it says 'George' I still wont know if its the right girl...

Thanks for everyones help anyway

The person who conducted the marriage may have put down the wrong name, it wouldn't be the first time.
