Edward

forgot to say the that Flora is down as a 'tapestry carpet printer' on the census I sent to you...wow she must have been a strong lady as women were not worthy of listing a profession on the census's!

Georges father is also a carpet weaver and his mother is a mid wife...another strong women in the family!

any more help just shout

looks like her on the 1911 census but no sign of George There is a G T Beech married to another women on the other census's could he have remarried adn thats why Flora did housekeeping to keep her out of the workhouse?

I wonder if this is George remarrying? He is with Flora in 1881 but not in the 1891 census so if he did remarry it would have been between these dates and this is the only GT Beech on the listing....

Still doesn't help with her parentage......... I think you'll have to order her marriage certificate and she what her fathers name was, however I have a sneaky feeling that that space maybe blank.
