Hi everyone please could I have some help in tracing this lady.What I have so far is her name on a birth cert.of her son Daniel born 12th Feb 1852.Her husband was Maurice Reardon from Brittania Gardens Marylebone.I managed to find her in the 1851 census .Daniel was not in that census.I found that Honora Nanan married Maurice Sept 1844 in London. I am stuck now,I would like to go back a little further.
I would appreciate any ideas thank you.

Have you got her marriage cert as that will name her father if known
