Maybe Walter Lampey couldn't marry Florence before December 1918 because he was away at sea till then.

The 1911 census for Florrie the servant could be the correct one, as the Florence with parents with John and Mary is with her parents on the 1911 census.

The 1901 census posted above by SylviainCanada looks promising.

The father, George Whiteley a gardener, didn't marry Fanny (Watson) until 1901. He married as a widower (certificate is on Ancestry)

George's full name was George Friend Whiteley. I can't see any marriage for him before 1901, so perhaps he considered Sarah to be his wife, although they hadn't actually married.

BUT - on 'that' marriage Sarah PAYNE actually married William BARLOW !!

Chris :)

So they only thing that doesn't fit is that George is listed as her father on her 2nd marriage.

The one that was a street away in 1911 was from Manchester. She is listed with John and Mary in 1901.

Might be worth getting that 1st marriage certificate.

Rose

What was your grandfather's name? Not seeing a birth that fits in 1918.

Do you have the first marriage cert? The address and witnesses might prove helpful in finding her in 1911.

I am hoping someone can help me...i am wasting so much time and money researching the remaining one member of my family tree- who just won't be found. I've taken everyone else lines back to 1600s but this one seems determined to remain an enigma....

Ok so I have details from a living aunty who's mother this person was that she was from Manchester originally, problem being that she died when this person was about 5 so she doesn't have any other information.

The scenario is she's my mums grandmother (paternal) I have her wedding certificate (her second marriage cert) and her death cert-

I know she married william armin in 1912 in Grimsby. they had one daughter. Florence Alice May Armin but she was born in Poplar london for some reason. can only think the fact he was navy has something to do with it.

William died in 1915 (WWI) and she went on to marry Walter Lampey in 1918 in west Ham. which is odd as my grandfather (their son) was born in aug 1918 in Grimsby- yet they married in Dec 1918 in West Ham!? (I'm not convinced he is my real grandfather as they don't look alike, which would explain this anomaly but ill never know)

i know from the cert that her fathers name was George and he was a labourer/ gardener. though on the record for her first marriage her name is spelled Whitely.

she died in 1927 aged 34 according to the death cert- which makes her birth year 1893 which is consistent with the marriage cert which says she was 25 in 1918.

all certs i have indicate she was born between 1893. however i have been unsuccessful in finding her birth or any census information for her to trace siblings and her parents. there are no george whiteleys (tried all spellings) in manchester. I did find one document which was a baptism in manchester at St augustines parish which suggested the birthdate was 30 april 1892 but the baptism was 1893 which could be why all docs say 1893

that shows a mother called sarah

one of my sessions found a goerge whiteley marrying a sarah payne in bury in 1891 but now i can't even reproduce that search result so am unsure where i found it. an 'expert' i contacted found an entry in 1911 in grimsby for a florrie whiteley who is 19 and is a servant to an older lady in a street in grimsby a street away from where she had my grandfather. but thats is all we've collectively found

all efforts to find anything else are driving me nuts..

can anyone help me?
