Title: gething.
Post by: apollonia on Saturday 19 October 19 18:29 BST (UK)

Hi, I'm trying to find the parents of Florence Gething who married Henry Forrest in 1918. Reg district Stourbridge. On Ancestry there are two Florence Gethings and one Florrie whom it could possibly be. Help much appreciated.

Apollonia was advised to re-post here on the previous thread but there is nothing to be gained by doing so as there is no further info involving Warwickshire than has already been posted.

Please see my reply on previous thread.  Birthdate matches 1939 entry but birthyear doesn’t.  However - it’s more than likely it is the right birth

Just one small point Stourbridge is in Worcestershire.

Re Henry & Florence Forrest.It looks likely that their children’s births were registered in Walsall, Staffordshire.
There is a birth registration for Florence Gething 1898 Handsworth, Staffordshire, now part of Birmingham. She appears on the 1901/1911 census returns a Florrie, parents Arthur & Elizabeth, younger brother Arthur.
Henry Forrest birth may have been registered in Stourbridge in 1895?

The 1939 register entry does not support an 1898 birthdate
