No Florence Hewlett's born in Ireland coming up on the census.

There is this one giving birthplace as Chelsea (as per 1911) boarding with the Pawsey family - Margaret's place of birth is given as Ireland.

Is this the nurse child?

There is this Florence on the 1911, married to an Alfred for the correct amount of time, but her birthplace isn't given as Ireland.

Is this the correct family??


This looks like the marriage registration that corresponds - so possibly the right family....

Marriages Sep 1903 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BELL Alice Maud Fulham 1a 807
Fogg Alfred Fulham 1a 807
?????Hewlett Florence Kate Fulham 1a 807
?????Humphries Alfred Fulham 1a 807



Can't see a corresponding birth for Florence in Chelsea (as claimed) so perhaps she fibbed!!

Just to make sure all info is available to us here, did she name a father on her marriage certificate?

Anything else you know, too! No siblings, I suppose?


The marriage, for reference:

Name: Florence K Humphries
Death Registration Month/Year: 1966
Age at death (estimated): 82 = c1884

She went to England as an infant? Do you have her in any census?
