Florence Davison/Lumsdon

[louis]

Florence Davison married Stephen Arkley Lumsdon, 8.6.1912 ryhope.
I have traced Stephen no problem but can't decide which Florence is the right one, not sure of D of B.
They had 2 sons I know of; Robert 10.10.1912 and
Thomas Wm 1917.
I am new to family history and any help or suggestions
would be most welcome, e.g. how do I eliminate the wrong people and be positive about others

Your best course is to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate which will show the name of Florence Davison's father, then you can probably find her in the 1901 census.

You can order the certificate from the Sunderland Registrar, see

Hi Louis 

I have had a look at all the other options and this is the one that appears to be the closest:

1891 census:

RG12/4140, Folio 115, page 80
Durham, Sunderland, Ryhope Colliery
116, Railway Street.

Robert Davison, h. mar. 37, Coal Miner, b. Durham, Seaham
Mary J. wife, 36, b. Cumberland, Brampton
Richard, son, 11, Scholar, Durham, Ryhope

Continued on different sheet:
RG12/4149, Folio 119, page 1
Durham, Sunderland, Ryhope Colliery
116, Railway Street

Elizabeth Davison, dau. 8, Scholar, b. Durham, Ryhope
Isabella, dau. 6. Scholar, b. Ryhope
Florence, dau. 2, b. Ryhope

1901 census:

Ref. RG13/4717, page 62
Durham, Houghton-le-Spring, Ryhope
116, Railway Street

Robert Davison, h. mar. 46, Miner Stoneman, b. Durham, Seaham Harbour
Jane M. wife, mar. 46, b. Cumberland, Little Corby
Richard, son, single, 20,  Miner run rider, b. Ryhope Colliery
Elizabeth, dau. single, 17, b. Ryhope Colliery
Florence, dau. 11, b. Ryhope Colliery

See what the certificate says and then we can have another look.

Kind regards,

Pels
