Find Ancestors

Afraid I haven't seen the actual marriage record online. It's not on Ancestry or Findmypast.

I just saw it listed on FreeBMD.

They were living in Romford on the 1901 census. Also living with them is William's father, James Short. He was also a printer. Maybe he worked with Richard Foster.

1911 correct, thanks, can you find the death of either florence or william?
i have looked on FMP, with no luck so far

THank you Christina. Looks very promising, as tried the Fulcher one ,
I will look into that one, does it say who father is on the marriage? The family where in the print trade, so follows that , she could have married into it as well. If she married in 1900, then the 1901 census , Mel found is not the same person. I know some of the fosters lived in Romford at a later date. Which site is it that shows the father on the marriage record? i will try later to-day to follow through

I think these are the parents of the Florence from Ealing, Mel.

Father: Frederick Foster
Mother: Blanch Foster
Gender: Female
Where born: Ealing, Middlesex, England

I wonder if the Futcher marriage is correct? Maybe as Richard B (father) died 1906
she put Granfather , as mother was already dead, will try and follow this line
Thanke for help to-date

I dont have an initial for Florence i did think it may be E, but not 100% sure
The marriages don't show Richard B as father, so not any of those Still perplexed!
i know the family could read/write, as they where in the newspaper print trade, all the way up to my cousin, (now in 70's) She was first child of Richard and Eliza(Mathews) born in St Lukes Parish Islington London (Where they married)
Mystery continues!

Have you found Florence's birth registration to know whether she had a middle name?

I notice that her siblings all had middle names.

Maybe if some can follow through, with fathers details ?
i have tried FMP, don't have access to Ancestry

She may have died early, as I don't recall her being mentioned. Oh how I wish I had asked my Aunt, who was the last survivour !!

I'm still looking but i'm not having any luck so far!

I am trying to find Florence Foster, (Father Richard, and mother Eliza) born 1879 in St Lukes London.
I have her on the 1891 census age 12, ( address 10, Myddleton Place, Clerkenwell London) but can't find her after that, so don't know if she married, or when she died i knew some of her generation, as she was my granfathers eldest sister, but she was never mentioned . Met her younger sister Charlotte, and her son. and granson, so would like to know what happened to Florence..
