HI I am searching for the deaths of the above, think they died in Birdwell, Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Bertie in c1971 and Florie in c1982. Think they were born around 1910 but not sure where. Any help would be great.

Have you looked for them in 1939 register to establish their dates of birth
-
Florrie - possible birthdate 23 Aug 1893.
Almost a match with this death:

If that is the couple then they were born before 1910/1911 :-\
There are a number of children possibly born to this couple, but as they may very well still be alive, I am unable to name them.
However, by using FreeBMD, and using the surname Brown and mother's maiden name of Green, plus a start date of 1924, there are some possibilities in the Barnsley Registration District. Sorry, I may be telling you something you already know how to do.
rosie99 and avm228 have given you a lot more information. ;D ;D

1910 birthdates were unlikely given the 1924 marriage, anyway.

Thank you
for all your help, see what i can do with this

There are three Bertie Browns registered in Q1 1894 and two Bertie Browns with a middle name. One is in Barnsley which seems the most likely, others are Gloucestershire, Wales, Croydon and Norwich.
Florrie Green is a bit more difficult there are two in Q3 1893, none in Q4 1893, none in Q3 1891, two in Q4 1891. Locations Chorlton and Leicester 1891 and Warrington and Sculcoates in 1893. Sculcoates is Yorkshire but some way from Barnsley.

In 1901 I have a Florrie Green age 7 b Mexborough (Doncaser RD) with father Charles general carter, mother Eliza, siblings Fred and Edith living in Mexborough. Fits except occupation, maybe he changed later or she bigged up her dad, won't be the first i've seen.

Florrie age 7 fits with a Sept 1873 birthday, could be the informant on the death cert made a mistake with year of birth but knew the birthday. nearly did same thing when I registered my mother's death, luckily OH corrected me.
