Just look on freebmd for marriage of SHARPLES to Jennie B

If you find one, look on freebmd for possible further children. MMN is on the index after 1911

Was Florence's mother actually 'married' in 1911?

If so, for how many yeras?

Location info would help

Bear in mind that, in Wales, 'Jennie' is often a 'pet' name for JANE

You may have to resort to buying Florence's birth cert

How did you get back to Jennie Beatrice please? Are you working back from daughter Florence?
If so the birth certificate of Florence will give the names of her parents.

wrt 1911 census the number of years married children born etc is crossed through in red. Which may suggest she wasn't married she was widowed???

It is not the 1907 marriage Reggie - the missing person on that was Sarah Jones.

OK..........you'd 'got that far' yourself - so why didn't you tell us the location?

That was my reason for posting the census....to provide the info you had failed to
