From 14 October 1906, her married name was Gatward.
From after 1912, Mary Ann Hale was also recorded as Mary Ann Cook.

Birth:
Mary Ann Hale was born on 26 February 1881 at Melbourn, Royston R.D., Cambridgeshire, England, 
 
Birth indexed as Mary Ann Hale; mother Douce.


Mary Ann Hale was the daughter of Henry Hale and Anne Douce.

Both signed
Witnesses: J.T. How & I How.


Note: in 1912 
 
William's children after 1912 appear to be indexed as "mother: Cook" (FMP).
This may indicate another marriage to another "Mary A" also born in 1881.

Currently we are assuming that Mary Ann Hale & Mary Ann Cook are one & the same.

The 1921 census may throw some light on this mystery.
