Im looking for anyone related to a Florence Blanche Franklin from Buckinghamshire. I know her husband and from there it desends to my grandma and my mum then me. I want to go backwards from Florence. any help would be great. ^_^
-
Was Franklin her maiden or her married name? If it was her married name - what was her maiden name
When and where was she born? There are only 2 births for that name on freebmd and neither were in Bucks - 1878 Warwickshire and 1905 Islington
Only one marriage listed for that name - 1900 in West Ham Essex
A Florence B Franklin married in Islington in 1926 to Edward Putman
-
It is the Florence B Franklin married to Edward Putman. Franklin is her maiden name.
-
So she was born 2.1.1905 in Islington
The free 1911 census index has a Florence Franklin aged 6 living in Islington but you will have to buy credits to view the entry as the 1911 is strictly pay per view
The entry will have her parents names and the number of years they had been married which will help to trace their marriage
-
thank you. may i ask what sources you used? im not good at researching at all really and was hoping to jot down different resources to refere to later.

Hi
Her birth was from freebmd www.freebmd.org.uk
The free 1911 index is at http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx
You may find the following useful when searching the index
USING THE FREE 1911 INDEX TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT HOUSEHOLD
http://www.1911census.co.uk/search/tnaform.aspx
Once you find a possible match - make a note of the county and district in which the person was living
Return to the index and in PERSONAL DETAILS - just put the surname of the family - nothing else
In LOCATION - Select the county and below it - type in the district
In OTHER MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOLD - show the full name of the person you have found on the index
Click SEARCH
You will have to buy credits to view the full entry - the above instructions will only help to possibly show others of the same name in the same household
Using the above instructions throws up rather a large number of names but I did pick up on a Blanche b 1876 so looked at Franklin marriages with a spouse called Blanche between 1893 -1905and found this one
Alfred Archibald D Franklin December qtr 1897 Holborn 1B 1207
Blanche Mary Tottem on the same page
-
The marriage details are as follows - you still need to check the 1911 entry to establish her parents names
10.10.1897 at St John - Clerkenwell
Alfred Archibald Douglas Franklin aged 29 bachelor - occ traveller - father Henry Franklin no occupation shown
Blanche Mary Tottem aged 21 spinster - father John Edwin Tottem no occ shown
Witnesses George Frederick Ludgate & Florence Louisa Evans
Can you confirm if these are her parents on the 1911 entry and I will see if I can find them on earlier censuses for you
-
I‘ve bought credits and checked the entry, her parents were Alfred b 1868 Clerkenwell and Blanche b 1876 Clerkenwell, they‘ve been married for 14 years, according to the entry.
-
That's great
Give me a couple of hours and I'll see what I can find for you
