Florence's marriage certificate shows her father as George Collett-Warehouseman. Would a guardian be shown as a father?I only ask because her Grandfather was George but he was a shoe maker!

Have found  that Florence and husband Ernest were witnesses to the wedding of Thomas George Smale(known as George) and Fannie Coker in 1910.Almost certain that she is his half sister and Mary Maria is her mother.Have sent for marriage certificate.
Where is she in 1901 though?

No trace of Florence on 1901 census or her Grandfather George despite numerous searches.I think they are together somewhere but don't seem to be in Bradford on Avon!
Sorry I said Ellen I meant Mary Maria who married Thomas Smale.All her children were born after Florence per census records, so I presume Florence was before she married.Only a thought....
On probate records she was also known as Florence Maud Howald. Died in 1960 aged 77

I am doing this research on behalf of my cousin's wife who is the granddaughter of Florence and have obviously suggested a marriage certificate is wanted.However there are Smale/Collett connections which are odd.
In the 1911 census George Collett-Grandfather and Nellie Smale aged 21 -Sister in Law are with the family.
Presuming Nellie was Ellen I hoped to have found her in Lyncombe ,Bath with her parents and siblings as Ellen H Smale aged 11 born Bath.

Her parents were Thomas Smale born Devon and his wife Mary M Smale born BRADFORD!

This obviously seemed to give a Collett connection and sure enough Thomas married Mary Maria Collett aged 24 on 7/11/1887 IN Lyncombe with her father given as George Henry Collett Bootmaker.
Ellen could be Florence’s mother it seems.

Florence married Ernest Howald in Bristol in 1903.
Her birthplace was given as Bradford on Avon c 1885 on census in 1911 but I can find no birth records.
Can anyone help please?

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Martha & Charles Budden
« on: Thursday 27 October 11 14:56 BST (UK)  »
Have been unable to find the following in the 1901 or 1911 census records.

Martha Farwell Budden born c1860 in Christchurch and her son Charles Henry Budden born 1890 in Christchurch.

Cannot find any record of Martha marrying again either.

Martha was a widow on the 1891 census with Charles at the home of the Butcher family in Ashington,Dorset.Her husband Charles Alfred Budden died in 1890.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Geoff Budden
