Looking for the parents of Florence Martin born abt 1882 Stoke-on-Trent

[kylalappin]

Hi, you guys have been amazing for me so far so hoping if you could help me a look up request

I’m looking for the parents of Florence Martin, born about 1882 in Stoke on Trent. She married George Henry Hicks (born 1885) in Stoke on Trent in late 1918, and had a son Jack Hicks in 1920 and a daughter Betty Hicks in 1921. Florence died in Atcham, Shropshire in 1935 and a year later George remarried Alice Ann Williams.

Florence, George, and Jack are listed as living at Horsebridge Road, Minsterley, Shropshire in 1921 census.

I haven’t been able to find records to match hers, any and all help is much appreciated!

Have you looked for her on the 1891 census?
