There are several possibles on the l90l census - do you know her parent's names please

Irene, this is provong a little trickier than I expected! There seem to be several possible Florence's. Do you have her father's name from her marriage cert?

I think this is hopeless without her father's name really as there are too many possibilities - what do others think? I found the 1911 for example but without more info it's just too confusing.
Jan

Too many possibles on the l9ll without knowing the father's name

If you look on page the previous page of this post you will see I have given you ALL the details from the Forence Moorcroft & Moses Hulm marriage - taken from the parish registers

The father is shown to be William a wheelwright which matches the 1891 census that Tania gave you, making her parents William & Ann

ok
thankyou.
