I am researching Thomas Connolly who married my aunt Edith Mary Sharratt in 1931. On the 1911 census he was living at 55 Hilton Street, Birkenhead, Cheshire with his parents Joseph & Elizabeth and seven siblings.

I have the births and baptisms for all the children and these indicate the mother's maiden name as Golding. The census also states that Joseph & Elizabeth had been married for 29 years (1882 approx).
I have searched FMP for their marriage in Britain, Ireland & World using name and date variants but cannot find a marriage between Joseph Connolly & Elizabeth Golding. Joseph gives his birthplace as Birkenhead (1861 approx) and Elizabeth as Liverpool (1863 approx) on the 1911 census.
Do you think it may be that Elizabeth was previously married to a Golding and gave that name as her maiden name?
