If it is the EDWARDS family living at 20 Conway Street, Broughton in 1881, Class: RG11; Piece: 3954; Folio: 56; Page: 21, she was listed as "Mary Agnes Edwards".

Answer 5

I am very grateful to each of you who replied to my question.  Unfortunately none of these answer the query.  I hold the original Certificate of marriage to James Barnes Simpson, 25, Farrier of Carlisle Cumberland this showed they wed in Salford 1899.   Agnes was shown as 20 and her father was William Edwards, engineer.
