i am looking for info on her earlier life and how come she has the Handy surname? is it maiden or from another marriage why is her father's name Joseph Day and her surname aint Day. Any info on her parents as just fathers name is pretty bleak

On the marriage certificate to Samuel Ell (?) she is stated as being a spinster.

There appears to be a birth certificate available for their son George b 1841.

What is shown for the mother's name and previous names?

You do have the birth certificate, don't you?

So many questions can be answered from readily obtainable documents.

Cancel that! I think You say you have the certificate and her maiden name is shown as Handley. So that suggests her mother was unmarried or she married again. Are there any Hand(l)ey / Day marriages around in the right place at the right time?

BTW it's not unusual for a bride to provide her stepfather's name rather than her biological father's name.

The marriage "cert" is on line. However, the Vicar, Joseph Golding, continued to use the pre. 1 July 1837 marriage form beyond that date until Lucy's marriage. Hers was the last - although there were blanks still in the register. Had joseph finally twigged? So, what went through to the GRO?.
Disappointed - had hoped to spot Joseph Day's occupation.

[suemalings]

Wasn't Joseph Day stated as being a Labourer?

Stated where? - not on the "cert" I checked on line.

Re checked FMP - and now see the proper cert!

As Lucy was stated as being a servant, I suspect that she was not born in the same place as the wedding took place or even in that county. On Ancestry is a tree showing that Lucy Handy was born abt 1816 in Toddington, Gloucestershire. There is also a photograph of George Ell, the son.

George married (I think( Mary Jane Rose in 1872. She was from Birmingham. He was in the Police Force
