sorry paula all these dates are making my head spin, she was born in 1901/2/3 not married which i corrected or hope i did.xx

Colette Report 2 Aug 2009 23:03

birth place i believe is hayfield or stalybridge. her mum sarah ellen was definitely born 1885 she is my great gran who had florence before she was married to my great grandad if that makes sense. so we never knew of her til 2 weeks ago and have worked hard to get info but cannot find dates. albert is on the birth cert of her son which i have and the death cert i have but i want to try and get as much info on my tree as i can xx

Colette,

Do you have proof of Florences birhtdate and birthplace? Do you need the info concerning her mother or just Florence?

Colette, I'm not trying to be difficult - you are probably correct - ,just asking how you know. Do you have any actual evidence or is it just verbal info? I only ask because this can be way out, as I know only too well with my own family!

How do we know how old she was? There are no other marriages which fit (I think!)
What is the marriage list you mention?

Yes I know, but it's the next step - unless census is 100% certain, you will need that marriage cert to confirm father's name - unless you know it of course!

I have my great grandmother's birth cert. (l858) and although it gives her mother's "married name" and maiden name, her parents were not married until two years later.

Colette Report 2 Aug 2009 22:30

LOL How thick am i ??

Raymond was born in 1924 and died last year, i believe his mom was born around 1901/2/3. as to Albert i'm not sure and cannot find the marriage record although it stated they were married on the birth cert as i have it. xx

Colette Report 2 Aug 2009 22:22

blimey, i know holt is to say the least the early version of smith or jones but if any one can help i'm looking for info on florence holt who married albert kerry in derby and they had a son raymond.
florences mum was sarah ellen holt from hayfield and was my grandfathers half sister.
