Could be them getting married?

14 June 1885, St Thomas, Bethnal Green
Robert Fidler, aged 25, Bachelor, Bricklayer of 14 Durant Street, son of William Fidler, Painter
married
Amelia Cooper, aged 24, Spinster, Millener of 9 Durant Street, dau of George Cooper, Printer

The details from that marriage cert would fit with a baptism for RObert Zachariah Fidler (indexed as Lacana!) Parents William and MAry ANn Fidler, he is a painter, living at 13 Queen Place.  Baptised at St Leonards SHoreditch 3rd June 1858

I think I'm going to order the marriage certificates of the Chevreau children - they may have some more information (Fidler witnesses) that might help me to work out whether I'm on the right track with Florence and Robert.

I have some issue with ancestry website.  When I do a search for Chevreau's I get pages and pages of Coopers. I can't for the life of me see how Chevreau can sound like Cooper or be similar to. Am I missing something? I try the chev* option but I often get a zero result with that.

Do you have this Chevreau family living in Fulham in 1901?  They are transcribed as Chevrean.

Ref RG13/Piece66/Folio31/Page8



 

Did you have a look at this one?   (try chevr* for searching, and see what happens something should show)

If you go to FreeBMD and search Births CHEVREAU between 1885 and 1910  ten of them turn up

I don't recognise the names but they could be siblings/nieces and nephews of George and Marie.

she gave her age as 21 when she married this may just indicate she was of full age to marry and not actually 21 years old

Thanks for that - seems you get the best results if you use a combination of websites :-)
