Title: Florence Amelia Millist/Loveys..Lost!
Post by: delyss on Tuesday 29 March 11 21:00 BST (UK)
 ??? I wonder if anyone can help solve a mystery please? My father-in-law tells me his mothers maiden name was Millist and on his birth certificate it shows as Millist but I cant find any records for Florence Amelia Millist! His father was Richard J Loveys and the only marriage entry we can find of the right dates and area to a Florence Amelia gives her maiden name of Carr...and yes you have guessed it..I cant find any other records for a Florence Amelia Carr either! RichardfLoveys was born 1892 in London. Totally bamboozled now and dont know what else to try! My father-in-law believes there may be a Northants connection too.

Thanks

Could be Florence was born a Millist married a Carr, then married Loveys? I have an ancestor who when registering births would change from maiden name to previous married name, or indeed include both!! ;D


OR was a Carr THEN a Millist!!!

  A Florence Millist married a William Corr in Southwark in 1917.
 Looked at index and it look more like Corr than Carr but may be a typo.

wow you have both found alot of information for me to look at! It does seem that the remarriage may be the answer Tazzie...I am going to have a closer look at the dates to see if it would fit together! Thank you both of you!

The answer is her name was Amelia Florence - not Florence Amelia. Great Aunt Flo went by her second name. My dad knows more. I'd like to swap info so please private message me!
