Hi Sc00p

I put Florence's name onto ancestry in my tree but realised i missed a L out of Hellen anyway when adding it a tree has popped up with with another child male born 1924 mother been Florence Hellen Bowser, the tree owner hasn't been online for 11 months and doesn't really have much more info on there tree i.e no dates of births or deaths but i'm wondering if i should just try to them message and hope they receive it!

Nothing to loose.  Try it.

Incidentally, if you were to search the BT residential phone book for a person named Bowser in Aylesbury, and found in the results a phone number that does not contain a 4, that person looks like a very close relation to Ruby.   I could be wrong, but it may save you a small fortune in certificates....

Hi all i'm hoping you can all help me again!

Today i got Florence Hellen Bowsers Birth cert she was born 28th March 1898 Whitchruch R.D father unknown which i was expecting! Mother Ellen Bowser a scarf and tie maker living at 8 Walden Street Commercial Road Stepney London E!

Now i think i may have Ellen on the 1891 census at the above address with her parents and siblings with no Florence as she was else where can anyone help confirm if the street name is the same?

Thanks very much! I now need to see if i can find out why Ellen didn't have her daughter Florence with her and why she was with some couple who so far don't seem to be related to the family!

Florence is not only illegitimate but Florence's daughter Ruby is also and they both seem to of been born in Whitchurch R.D where ever that is Ruby's birth mentions Hardwick Hill Whitchruch R.D, so another thing for me to look into!
