Florence Amer/Amor/Amar - Frome Abt 1878
« on: Tuesday 29 March 05 14:25 BST (UK) »

Hi

I am looking for info on Florence Amer b abt 1878 in Frome.  The only evidence I have found is on the 1901 Census where she is living in Norwood Middx age 23, with her son Thomas Henry aged 6 Months and future husbands daughter Hetty Gibbons. 

The census has her birth place as Frome Somerset.  I cant find her on 1881 or 1891 census, or her birth in the FreeBMD (which I realise is not complete).  Her Marriage is on FreeBMD in Uxbridge in 2nd Quarter 1901 to Thomas Gibbons.

Any info gratefully received

Thanks

Steve

Hi Steve,

As you have the ref for the marriage in 1901, it might be a good idea to order the certificate.  The certificate should give you Florence's father's name.  You might also get clues from names of witnesses.  Also is there a chance she was married before and perhaps widowed? 

If you know Amer was definitely Florence's maiden name then you could try looking for her birth on 1837online(pay per view) for example.  FreeBMD is very useful but as it is not complete yet, not perfect.  You may find that she wasn't born where she thought - it has happened with me. 

Good luck

Debbie

I was going to make the same comment as Debbie - that Amer might be a married name, even though the 1901 census calls her single.  Free BMD has a reference for a likely birth of Thomas Henry - that certficate might also be interesting!

Thanks for the replies.

I had considered that she may have been married before, then forgot it!  Ooops.

I have ordered the marriage Certificate to Thomas Gibbons so may soon know more.  GRO says that dispatch is down to 8 days now.

I'll order the birth certificates another day.  I suspect that the father of Thomas Henry will be Thomas Gibbons.  There was also an earlier child AFTER the death of Thomas's first wife,  which begs for more investigation.

Thanks again for the advice and reminding me never to assume!!!.

Regards

Steve
