Hi
Have you looked on freebmd for marriages? If you have the family on the 1911 - it will show the ages of the sisters (if born by then) which will give a rough guideline to any marriage dates

yes I know I put on the wrong page soz

Hi again, think I have located Gertrude, at least her death:-
Gertrude Falloon b 15th November 1893 died Sept 1975 Birmingham aged 81 v32 page 0250
Highly possible her husband was a Joseph P Falloon born about 1888 who died Sept 1953 Birmingham v9c page 76 aged 65, he appears to be the Joseph Porter Falloon b abt 1888 who is on the 1901 Ireland census residing at Shankhill, Antrim

EDIT their are births 1919/1922/1924/1928 of children with Surname Falloon Mothers maiden name Harris.

hi
that gud news thank you for your help

Hi again, there is a Probate record for Joseph Porter Falloon:-
Joseph Porter Falloon of 66, Repton Road, Bordesley Green, East Birmingham, died 18th July 1953. The General Hospital, Birmingham, probate 18th August to Albert Victor Harris occ Engineer and Edna May Gardiner ( wife of Harold Gardiner ) Affects £707 12s 6d
Edna May Harris married Harold L Gardiner Sept qtr 1938 6d 1100, her birth was June qtr 1917 Aston 6d 906 Mothers maiden name Harris, potentially therefore a daughter of either Florence or Gertrude?
Edna May Harris born 27th March 1917 died February 2002 Birmingham aged 84
