thats great Tempest,
I presume in the 1901 census, the mother is now a widow so her husband Edward/Edwin passed away sometime after the birth of his last child Adelaide b 1884. also Florence has two girls.....Elise and Cissie.

janice, sorry for being a bit dumb here. Ellen married in 1917 to?

thanks Tempest,
Forence b 1875, daughter of Ann now a widow. Ann's husband Edward must have died since the birth of last child Adelaide in 1884.

Janice, sorry for appearing a bit slow here. Ellen b 1877 married in 1917, quite old, does this mean she married in Bristol to ??

going back to Florence's children

these are just possibles,

you would need to order BMD certs from the GRO to check names etc to be certain we have the right people

It looks good to me Tempest. Getting a much clearer picture now. so Florence married in South Wales. The older sister Martha married in Bristol/Keynsham. I can check these two out- thank you for you help.

sorry Bipper, why do you think Edward/ Edwin died?

is this not him on the 1901 and 1911 census below?


1901 census

Address: Private House, North Common, Bitton (Gloucs)

SAUNDERS, Edwin F Head Married M 51 1850 Pit Timber Man Crudwell, Wiltshire
SAUNDERS, Ann Wife Married F 56 1845 Malmesbury, Wiltshire

SAUNDERS, Edward Head Married M 63 1848 Ostler Above Ground Cradwell Wilts
SAUNDERS, Ann Wife Married 42 years F 66 1845 Malsmbry Wilts

11 children to marriage, 6 alive at time of census, 5 had died

HILMAN, Isaac Head Married M 34 1867 Coal Miner Hewer Blaina, Monmouthshire
HILMAN, Florence Wife Married F 26 1875 Malmesbury, Gloucestershire
HILMAN, Elsie Daughter F 1 1900 Ystrad, Glamorganshire
HILMAN, Ann Mother Widow F 63 1838 Cadbury, Gloucestershire

sorry got a litlle confused. ann was Florence's mother in law. ann was also the name of her mother. Edwin and Ann were still ALIVE in 1911. The range of different names was not very wide was it?

if their anything like mine they liked to keep to the same old names over and over and over again

anyway this looks like Cissie's marriage (Florence's daughter)


MarriageFinder™: Cissie D Hillman married Harold Hicks

Name: HILLMAN, Cissie D
Registration district: Keynsham
County: Somerset
Year of registration: 1931
Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Spouse's last name Hicks
Volume no: 5C
Page no: 904

Sorry, been away from computer.

Bipper - his name is with hers at bottom of page 1!

Robert W Arthur

ie Arthur is his surname.

Not completely convinced though yet as there is a Robert W Arthur death in Bristol which says born 1890 so he'd be 13 years younger than her.

PS You need to untick that box as it is showing the whole thread as answered.

thanks Janice,
