Re: 1891 look up please Florence Eliza Fisher

Hi
I recently started looking again for my Florence Eliza and found on Ancestry a reference to her as being born Knapp?
This is what a member has written about her and her marriage to George Cheshire;
Marriage to George Cheshire
1892 3 Dec — Age: 21
All Saints church, Hammersmith & Fulham, England
Witnesses are James Driver (He is a witness on the next marriage on that day) Florence Godfrey, George's cousin. Florence was born Knapp but her Dad died when she was 2 and was raised by Thomas Godfrey, her Mom's second husband, she married William Byrne
I have tried to contact the member to ask how they have this information but have had no reply.
Can anyone help/ shed some light on this?
Many thanks

The note seems to be talking about Florence Godfrey the witness, rather than Florence the bride, I think?

Hi, I have realised that I was thinking about the wrong Florence, silly me! Gail, do you have any other info on who George was married to previously? I was always told that Florence Eliza was French, any other info that you have would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks all!

No Florence Eliza wasn't French. She was born in Cambridge. Her mother was from Norfolk and father was from Suffolk. I wonder why you were told she was French? As far as Steph knows George Cheshire was not married before Florence.
