Have you got her birth certificate with parents' names on it?
Thanks

Thankyou: Are you able to get hold of occupations? Am not sure when Charles died.

I havent no, my Grandmother MAY have it. She is going to give me some dates and names.

Have you got the family in 1911?
My 1911 census search keeps going down, but could not see Florence on first look.

I get so far and then it tells me i need to buy credits. I will try again if there is a way without needing credits. In 1911 i think she may have been in scotland as she had her daughter florence in montrose.

April - there is no way you can view the 1911 census for free, sadly. I've searched the 1911 and can't find them, so your theory of Scotland supports that.

Oh ok...i was told differently..but hey. Thankyou for your help though. I have never done any research like this before so am tryin all avenues.

Here's Florence's parent's marriage:

Was Florence born in 1882 or 1886?
Thanks

My Grandmother gave me 1882.

The date of birth is taken from her death registration , so is only as accurate as the information given at the time of death.

Oh ok then. Will stick to 1882 then. Thankyou.

Well if she was 21 in 1907 then she would have been born in 1886.

I cant see any positive birth results for the children ?
