It would appear that Mary and others listed with her were members of the Travelling Community. Listed below Mary is Dolphus Butler born 14 December 1875 and when conducting a search on Ancestry I found that Adolphus Butler aged 38 enlisted in the Gloucestershire Regiment in December 1914. The Short Service Attestation Form names his wife and children including Albert. Details are as follows:
Wife: Dora Stephens and date of marriage: 21 September 1902
From FreeBMD:
Marriages Sep 1902
Butler Adolphus Ledbury 6a 1016
Stephens Dora Ledbury 6a 1016

Children:
Alfred born 26 March 1908 at Randwick, Gloucestershire
Lily born 1906 at Horsley,Gloucestershire
Albert born 21 March 1909 Whiteshill (Date of birth quoted in 1939 register is 21 March 1910)
Adolphus born at Horsley, Gloucestershire (no date given)
Gilbert born 14 November 1914 at Horsley, Gloucestershire.

The form states that evidence for births of Alfred, Albert and Gilbert provided in Baptism Certificates but I have been only been able to trace one of them as follows:

Name: Alfred Butler
Age: 0
Event Type: Baptism
Birth Date: 26 Mar 1905
Baptism Date: 28 Apr 1905
Baptism Place: Randwick, Gloucestershire, England
Father: Adolphus Butler Occupation :Clothes Peg Maker
Mother: Dora Butler

Mary is described as a Single person and her date of birth is given as 27 October 1900 which is before the marriage of Adolphus and Dora which suggests she may be Dora's daughter and would explain the name Butler being quoted above.

Adolphus Butler is listed in various Electoral Registers and his abode given as Crump Meadow Wood, Cinderford which was a well known campsite for travellers.

A suggested marriage for Mary has been provided in the previous posting.
