Some very helpful people helped me to find Florence Nielson/Nelson recently. She was born abt. 1878 in Middlesex (England). She was married in 1905 to Herbert Horace Johnson.

Could some kind person look her up for me on the 1911 census please.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried looking for her yourself?

1911 is free to search - although viewing images/transcripts is not free

Yes did try looking but too many. Paid £6.95 for the credits and ended up wasting them by picking the wrong one before I had further information on her. No problem.

Where in Middlesex was she born?

Where did the marriage take place?

Thanks

Florence was definately alive at that time. She and Herbert had a daughter "Queenie". She then had two sons with Thomas Hogan - Ernest born 1913 and John 1915.

Thanks Patricia. Unfortunately I don't know anything else. I have not yet managed to find out why some people were called Queenie.

The people on GR could not find a marriage for Florence and Thomas Hogan but as I said their two children were registered as Hogan and Queenie was their half sister.

Thanks for your help,

Islington connection is good because that's where Ernest was born. Only 8 years between her first marriage and Ernest's birth also. Maybe this is the one.

I am hoping that someone could do a look up on the 1901 census for me please.

I have found my Florence L Nelson and her mother Alice L Nelson in Essex in 1901 and would like to find out the address and who else is in the household if possible.

Thanks in advance.
