Title: Florence May Stringer
Post by: Bumper71 on Thursday 02 July 09 17:13 BST (UK)
Florence May Stringer was born Atherton / Leigh in 1908.
I have been unable to find either a Marriage or a Death.
Can anyone help please?
Hopeful as ever, Joan

Hi Joan,

Welcome to Rootschat!!

On the 1911 census there is a Florence May Stringer, born 1908, and living in Leigh district. You may already have this.

Hi Joan,

All I have managed to find is:-

Lancashire BMD
Florence May Stringer/Wilfred Bird
1960 Preston, Lancashire
226//9/216

England & Wales Death Index 1984-2005
Florence May Bird
aged 81
born 25 Sep 1908
death registered Apr 1990
Manchester
Lancashire
Vol 38
Page 615

May be she married late in life or perhaps a second marriage.

Hi

If it was a second marriage - she would not have married as Stringer - she would have re-married using her first married name

Where does she fit into your family tree?
 
If you know her fathers name - you could send for a copy of the 1960 marriage cert but put a condition on your application that Florence should be around 52yrs old and her fathers name should be ................

If it's the wrong one - the GRO will only charge a £3 search fee

Thank you all for your advice.
Much appreciated - Florence and Wilfred Bird a possible option.
Cheers, Joan
