Florence Catherine May Bray DOB 21.9.13

[bchelly976]

Hi searching for the above lady she is my great aunty we seem to have come to a blank all we have is her birth certificate, my dad (her nephew) thought she may have emigrated it would be nice to know what happened to her, married had children etc.  She was born in Praze Penryn and believe she then moved to Bissoe in Truro. Any information would be most appreciated.

Welcome to Rootschat

I presume this is her birth:

Florence C M Bray
Mother's Maiden Name:   May
1913  Oct-Nov-Dec
Falmouth  Cornwall
Volume:   5c  Page:   230

You need to be a bit careful when looking for a marriage as there were two more Florence Brays born Cornwall in 1913, one was Florence May Bray! (That one married a William James Sowden, so we can eliminate that marriage)

Thanks for the tip we cannot find anything we have drawn a blank she may not have married cannot even find a death.

possible marriage

Hi we did see this but wasn't sure I suppose we get the marriage certificate and see who her father was that's the only way

I was about to suggest the marriage given by Osprey - very possible as I can't see a birth of a Florence  K M Bray. It's the right area as well.

If that is right there is the birth of a child in 1939 to a Thomas maiden name Bray in Kerrier. I won't give names as they could be alive still, but you can find them on Freebmd. http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
