A contact has seen the birth certificate of William George Coleman 24 sept 1908 at Easthampton parents William Arthur Coleman and Florence nee Belcher.
I have a Florence Belcher born Binfield 1880 but I cannot find a wedding or any thing after the 1901 census for my Florence to see if she became Mrs Coleman
Can anyone help to find a marriage or anything else to prove or disprove the link
Thank you

Don't know waiting for a reply he contacted via our web site He mentioned the birth certificate in his note and a bit about William George later so I am guessing he is related through him.The Belchers are out on the twigs of our tree.
Thank you amondg that is interesting

I have Florence Belcher bapt. 1880 in Binfield (d/o George & Emma Elizabeth -late Payne) and can see her in censuses 1881 (6mths Binfield), 91 (aged 10 Binfield),1901 (aged 20 Hoathly, Sussex).
There is also a Florence Belcher in 1911 (born Chelsea, London!!!) but residing in Cookham Rise, Berks - aged 29 & single Domestic Servant.
Cannot be sure its the same person but Cookham is only a couple of parishes to Binfield.
I have not found any other info on this Florence.

Well that is definitely the family the contact has, he has said they spent time in S. Africa but the marriage doesn't give the father's name so we still can't say she is the same Florence the bride was born in Bracknell. very near to Binfield so very likely to be right.
