Hi dea
On her marriage licence it says florence chamberlain widow
it gives her birth in bridgwater and her age fits with being born in 1889
it also gives her parents as william crocker and mary james
I know about vivien via her son.But they dont seem to know anything at all

How do you know she married a 'Chamberlain' and how do you know about Vivien ?

Hi Paula. This is a bit difficult. I can find the following on 1891 census
Henry Chilcott born Dulverton. Somerset and his family, also living with them
Mary A Crocker. SINGLE 19. NIECE born 1872. and
Florence L Crocker. dau. 2.1889. Living Southside.Bridgewater.

There is another possible family, but the above one gives the second initial for Florence.

1901 census
John Crocker. 36. 1865. Born Dulverton
Mary Ann 36. 1865
Florence 12. 1889
George 7 1894
Sidney J 2 1899
I cam find the marriage of John Crocker to Mary Ann Bryant. 1888. Oct/Dec Qtr. reg in Dulverton. vol 5c 545.
Do you know when Vivien was born. If so, her Birth certificate should give parents. This should help to find out which family as you work back.
Ethel.

I cant find anything exept her birth and her marriage to alfred knight in 1919 in canada, she does show up in the 1930 census in america.
its odd because she must have left the country some how

The only Crocker/Chamberlain marriage I can find is this one and it isn't Florence.
I'm also not getting any details of her having lerft the country.
It's a bit of a puzzle.

Are you absolutely sure of these details - there are no births or marriages which fit - anywhere - only Florence's birth in Bridgewater
