She would be very young to be married by 1911!
Too many George Williams to be sure of unless you know where he was born and who his father was!

Hi again, thanks for all the replies.Just to update you, I have florence's Death certificate and it stated DOB as september 1899. The first child was named Gwendoline and was registered Jan/Feb/March 1923 in kings N..
And I apologose for the mistake over them being married in 1911, you know it never occurred to me they would only be 12 ...LOL...
I have no info on george Williams other than they were living in Birmingham in 1930's and stayed there all their lives.The family always said they came from Staffordshire.Unfortunately there is no one left alive to ask as all of the children are no deceased.
Many thanks to Astra, Florence's parents were named Lucy and William .Lucy was born 1878/9 as she died in 1925 aged 47

Their marriage - you need the cert to find George as he has such a common name:

Just wondered why I can't find a birth for Florence in 1901 ??
Anyone have any ideas

THERE'S A BIRTH POSTED ON 1ST REPLY IS THAT HER?

Lynnette

Lynnette Report 4 Jun 2010 10:32

thats what i was trying to trace, her birt is down as 1901 on the 1911 census, as kindly posted by Astra,but i can't find a registry entry for it.I am going to get the birth certificate today but need to trace the birthdate as its completely different to the the one on her death certificate :}
With the birth on the 1st reply it says on the census
WALTERS-FLORANCE MAY-F-10-1901 BERN SMETHWICK STAFFS

Is BERN where she was born , as the birth found says she was born in WALSAll, oh I'm confused ..??
Thanks again

Hi Lynette
You have made me smile! BERN is from the original image It looks as though William or Lucy when they filled in the form started to put Birmingham and then put Smethwick. So when it has been transcribed they have read it as Bern for some reason. If you PM me your E mail address I can send you the original image.
I thought the birth registration I posted above was the correct one and then I found this which means that her names have been reversed on the census. Kings Norton is the registration district for Smethwick.

Births Dec 1899 (>99%)
Walters May Florence King's N. 6c 484

This one looks more likely because the December quarter registration could cover a September birth.

Name: George A Williams
Spouse Surname: Walters
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1922

Name: Florrie M Walters
Spouse Surname: Williams
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1922
Registration district: Kings Norton
Registration county (inferred): Worcestershire
Volume Number: 3d

you need to get the marriage cert for more details of him but there is an error as to the volume number so it would need checking ,i am not sure which one it is for that area

Have found that William Walters was the one who paid for the buriel plot for Lucy may, George and Florence.He was living at 8 St Mathews road, so that ties in with the first post from Astra. I have been able to narrow down the births of the chidren as William 1901, Charles as 1902,this means that the birth reg on 1899 is very likely going to be the one for Florence May. I thought it was all sorted then I found the 1901 census for the family (very easy now I know where William was born) and Florence is not there !! You have William, May( Lucy has been dropped form the name) and William aged 5 weeks but no Florence who should be 1-2years,anyone got any ideas ?
Also on another note if anyone does look at the census for William he was born in Blakeney Gloucester, but can you tell me where they live, it looks like Belgrave something but I don't know if its road,court or house...Thanyou

Hi Lynette
Where did you get William and Lucy from as Florence's parents?
Are you sure that they are the correct family?
They didn't marry until 1899.
