Florence Esther Handley - query ?
« on: Friday 08 January 10 10:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi there,
Can some kind soul possibly help me with a birth ?
Florence Esther Handley was buried in Alveley Churchyard, nr Bridgnorth  in 1933 aged 22
I am hoping she is the child of George Handley and his wife Margaret  ( maiden name Watkins)- but I can't find Florence's birth listed in the bmd index - could some kind soul take a quick look ?

Many thanks :) :)

there are births of children with surname handley mothers maiden name watkins in bridgnorth
bert handley in 1912
richard .e.handley in 1913
unfortunately florrie's birth came just to early to have the mothers maiden name transcribed
you would have to get the cert to verify if this florrie is yours

The 1911 census has a Florence aged 3 months, living in Bridgenorth but her second name is down as Hester.  I have not accessed the full records but it might be worth investing to see it.
