Comments

she was born in lewes sussex married in Petersfield Hampshire in 1904 I think to George dodson

As you say, it is a common name and there are a lot of Margaret Barrys

 Is it  possible that the  Margaret Barry that  married George Dodson in Petersfield was a Margaret Barrey  born in Portsmouth,Hampshire in 1878  rather than the Margaret Barry born in the Lewes reg district.

Her birth was registered as Margaret Louise Barrey in Portsea in the last quarter of 1878.

She appears on the 1881 as Margaret L Barrey born 1879 in Portsmouth  and living in Portsea. She was the daughter of George and Emily Barrey In the  1891 census she is recorded as Margaret Barry still living in Portsea with her family.  I think that in 1901 she was recorded as Margaret Barry,  living and working as a cook in Paddington

In the 1911 Census,  a Margaret Dodson, born 1879 in Portsmouth is living in  Binsted, Hampshire. She is  with her husband George Dodson, and children Alfred (6) Violet(3) and Gertrude(4 months).

One factor against this identification is that the couple say they have been married 9 years but I can't find another marriage of a George Dodson that would fit.

this one seems to add up my grandmother was violet and I believe they were married 1904 in Petersfield thanks a lot for your info iwas getting nowhere

I hope it is her but personally, if  I were sure that this was the right wedding then I would send for the marriage certificate. This includes the names of the couple's  fathers
