Thanks to everyone for the new information, most interesting gives me a lot to think about.
Esther married Ernest Mann they lived in Sheffield.It was Hannah 1903 Nancy 1911 I wonder why the name change.

It helps us if you post what you have save us posting info you already have

might be an idea to get that certif just to confirm it is the correct one.

or a birth certif for one of the kids to get Harriets maiden name

That marriage may be correct one
I will add as a possible on Bcc.

what else were you after?

is it the marriages for the kids?

what info do you have already re who they married?

Any information on Thomas Matthews born 1879 Quarry Bank would be appreciated.His brother was Benjamin born 1862 Brockmoor,also Hannah Matthews Benjamin`s daughter born Wednesbury 1892
