Elsie Hurst and Florrie Watkins?
« on: Friday 30 April 21 14:04 BST (UK) »
I'm having some trouble finding the sisters of Fred Hurst. I have no idea what happened to them after 1911.

Elsie Hurst was born in 1897 in St Helens. Fred was born in 1900 St Helens, they had an adopted sister Florrie Watkins also born St Helens.

Fred was married to my grandfathers sister, Annie Clisham ne Hayes. They married June 11th 1938 in St Helens. It was a Catholic marriage. So I know what happened with him.

But Elsie and Florrie I just can't find after 1911. No marriages. The reason I want to find them is that I have a photo of Fred and Annie Marrying. Fred has his arm around a girl aged about 12, I don't know who she is, but she looks similar to Fred. I'm guessing it's a child of Fred's sister. but I'm not sure.

Sorry I know this is confusing.

Fred I know had no children. So this child is not his. I'm hoping someone can find some trace of Elsie and Florrie.
