If you apply to the GRO in writing, specifying childs and fathers name, rather than online, for an extra few pounds (was about £4 last time I did it, so total for certificate was £11.50 I think) they'll "search" the year you think she was born, plus a year either side, for the correct birth with matching father.

Arranroots,

In 1920 her Father was a gas fitter in St Luke, Islington. It says 21 on the cert, and she married in Holborn. I also know that she had a sister, but I don't know her real name, only that she was known as "Lil", but that wasn't her real name!

There you go millerina, brilliant idea from CatOne, also post a question regarding Dad on the "Armed Forces" part of Rootschat and we might be able to get some more info on Dad and the area that they may have come from.

All the best

Catherine,

Thats brilliant advice, I'll definately give that a try!  :) Do I have to print off a form or anything to do that, or just write and enclose a cheque??

Funnily enough I found a 1901 census return for a Florrie of the right age, but rejected it cos the father is John - a gas fitter!

There is not necessarily a connection with Lancashire for soldiers in a Lancs regt, I believe.  the Armed Forces bods will put me right!

There is a marriage of a Henry Frederick BAILEY, Jun quarter 1896 at St George, Hannover Sq, Vol 1a  Page 923.

Other names:  Emma JOHNS, Ellen KELLY, Henry George FISHEDEN.

Just checking the implications of that now..

A  ;)

Oo er just seen Audrey's post - looks good!

Just dug out the marriage cert and found that she was Florence BEATRICE Bailey, that should narrow things down a bit! I don't know how I managed to forget that!  :-[ :o

Births Jun 1899

 
Bailey  Florence Beatrice     St Saviour  1d 164   

Thats the only one in 1899, but beware because others do appear in nearby years and she may have got her age wrong (deliberately or otherwise) at her marriage.  THere is also nothing to say the dob given at death for the death cert is correct.  (My grandmother's certainly isn't)
