thankyou.

Irene

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

thankyou for all your postings...
Im embarrassed to say that Im having trouble understanding them..
sorry.

brummie jan..
we dont have florences marriage cert. sorry

to liz,
sorry not sure of florences parents names... think they could be william moorcroft and elizabeth ann johnson.. but really not sure.

please bare with me as this is very new to me...
im almost sure that the details above are my nan and grandad.. florence and moses... will pass on these details to my mum.. thankyou.

so that 1901 census of Wm & Ann is the right one and Flo was actually born in Bickerstaffe

Irene please come back and tell us if any of the info we have given you is of use

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

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

This may be her in 1911:

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?
Jan

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