Hi, I am trying to find the entry for Florence on the 1911 census.
Florence I think married John Dowling in Holborn in 1910.
I have looked but for some reason can't find it.
I have found her sisters and brother.
Florence was born in 1890 Holborn.
Many thanks
Sally :-)

BIG THANKS to
Ann, Shirley, Reggie and GlitterB

Well, the parents of Florence Amelia BRETT were John and Caroline BRETT

I did do some checking before I asked for help, the family seem to live in the Islington area.

I will have a good look and see if I can find any other info.
I have only just started looking into this name, am looking for my friend, so no certs.

Regards
Sally
