Trying to find more details about this lady. Also known as Frances. Father as per marriage cert is Douglas Lambert.

Believed she was born 21/12/1869 Stepney as per info in family bible but can not locate birth cert, nor entry for her or her father in census records for 1871.

Married on the Isle of Wight, and census for that year shows her living with the vicar and his wife, who were the witnesses to her marriage to Frederick Morris.

May also have been known as Francesca per marriage cert. Marriage cert obtained gives name as Francesca. Marriage was witnessed by Rev George Jones and Maud Mary Elizabeth Jones, and her place of residence is given as Holy Trinity, Durnforth House, so possibly lived with Vicar and his wife. No occupation give on marriage cert so she was not a servant. Believed to have been a Nurse and met her husband when he went to London. She then lodged with Vicar and wife before they married.

Place and date of birth obtained from family bible
