Dea - that's the path I was taking - sleepovers in 1891 ha ha! The other possibility is that this was a pub......

Jude

There may not be a family connection Jude.

The household has a girl of 12 (Lillie) and we know that Florence was of a similar age - they probably were in the same class at school and it may just have been a 'sleep-over' for her with her friend?

It is always worth looking for a firmer connection though, but I can't see an obvious one either.

Dea x

Gins - can't find a connection but have had a look on it (on FMP as it appears to have gone awol on A) and it is most definitely Florence Homer

Jude

Well found Andy !!

Dea x

Andrew - bingo I thing that explains it! I have assumed the Eliza (but I have found a birth entry that would fit it). It's slightly later than the census would account for but it has to be so!

Gins - I like the look of the 1891 find - I'll see how it fits in with things

Jude

This one could be a 'possible' if her middlename was Elizabeth, though it is a few years ealier than expected!!

OOhh - just realised that you have Florence at home unmarried on 1901.... dratt !

I will post it anyway and see if I can find the couple on 1901 to discount them.

Dea x

EDIT - I have now discounted this marriage - William married Lenny and I have them on 1911!

This might explain the marriage record

I have found a branch family in 1911 census in Dudley.

Head is Charity Homer (Widow) aged 57

With her are daughters Louise 21, Lily 19 and Gertrude 16. And then another family William Aston, son-in-law, 37, his wife Florence, daughter, 31 and their son William, grandson, 3.

Florence is Florence Eliza (this is a guess - only references are to E in 1881 and 1901 censuses - haven't found her in 1891). Shown as married 5 years, one child (obviously living).

My problem is that I can't find a marriage between William Aston and Florence Homer (neither in the five year range or beyond). I can find a marriage between a Florence Eliza and a William but it's in 1907 and he's Millichope. And I can find several marriages in the right time for William Aston in Dudley but none to a Florence.

As an aside I have found what I assume is a later child Arthur in Sep 1916

Any thoughts?
