Title: marriage battersea ferguson / haram
Post by: compo on Thursday 15 December 11 11:20 GMT (UK)
i am after information on my distant cousin florence haram

registration district battersea
battersea registry office
9th january 1932

frank ferguson 24 bachelor carpenter of 5 pearson street battersea son of archibald ferguson (bootmaker)
florence haram 23 domestic servant 54 falcon road battersea daughter of charles haram (miner)

witnesses
w ferguson
j ferguson

i have looked at the gro for any children of this couple and i have found none , they may well not have been able to have children or maybe one of them died young and the other remarried .

any help would be very much appreciated as this particular cousin has had me stumped for a very long time

Hi

someone has these names on a family tree on ancestry with the following info

Florence Haram born 6/3/1908 Bolden Colliery Durham and died 5/2/1936 Camberwell, but there is no verification that they found confirmation of this info
Frank Ferguson 1908-1936 which seems strange that they were both born and died in the same year, but no places or birth or death

I have looked on ancestry for any children of the marriage without coming up with anything.

Do you think that Florence came from Durham?

With Dad a miner it looks possible - not many mines in BAttersea!   :)

A check on FreeBMD should say how many Florence Harams are born around 1908 and where. I guess not many to choose from.

thankyou both for your help , florence did come from boldon colliery i do have her birth cert , perhaps i should have mentioned that  ;)

it is sad they both died at the same time i wonder if they died in an accident or had both succumbed to t.b ? ill try deaths on the gro and if i come up trumps ill send off for death certs .very intriguing ?

again thankyou for helping
