When you found Moscrip was it by doing a Phonetic search on the names? Ancestry seem to make a lot of mistakes.
I am still trying to tie in John Charles Frederick Morris and Florence Morris Formely Cranfield to their son Arthur Frederick. Will keep you posted if I find anything else.

I think I searched for Frank no surname by his dob, location and place of birth -- only finding him from what Chris posted!

I'm not seeing the connection either, I admit, particularly since we haven't even found a Florence Cranfield! There's that one tenuous little link to Berkshire in JCFM's family ...

I believe this is our missing Florence Cranfield and Jack/John Charles Frederick Morris on 1901 ,too tired to search more for Mr Morris and Florence on 1911...Will check back in the morning...

Fine, take the glory now!

So what was Florence doing in Berkshire?

FannyByGaslight

FannyByGaslight Report 24 May 2011 01:19

You tell me that in the morning...
But her parents were dead by 1891 I do believe as Ethel was a pauper on it and I havent checked for their deaths but her mother came from Reading?Elizabeth Talbot "as was" C1855....

"Take "the glory???Certainly not,leave that to you to give me.... :D

Elizabeth in 1861 in Reading St Giles ...

Charles Talbot 32
Jane Talbot 30
Elizabeth Talbot 7
Charles Talbot 1
George Bridgewater 72

So that does seem to be the connection.

The 1901 Chambers household at the address Florence gave when Arthur was born

John Chambers 30 - born Breconshire
Emily Chambers 29 - born Windsor, Berkshire
Wally Chambers 4
Edward Chambers 3


Great, two possible Emilys

Marriages Mar 1896
CHAMBERS John Reading 2c 532
Firmin George Henry B Reading 2c 532
Jordan Emily Reading 2c 532
Wilson Emily Reading 2c 532

No apparent connection with either one ...

All this information is really appreciated, and has certainly given me a lot to research. I am starting to lose which path to follow. In your opinion which is the best info from above for me to concentrate my research.
