Help! 1871 look up?

[GIBONEE]

Hi,

I am trying to find my great grandmother Florence Eliza Fisher. She was said to be French!

However she is on the 1901 census living in Fulham and is down as being born in Cambridgeshire, she is married to George Cheshire and she is 34.

I have her marriage certificate December 1892, which states she is 20, with Father George a labourer.

I have been trying to find her for approximately 8 years with no luck!

I have also looked in to different spellings of her name and have been looking at a Florence FISCHER 15 in 1881 who is a servant in Tottenham. There is also a Father George and Mother Eliza living in Phillip Street London. The ages do not match up with Florence as their daughter as they are down as 28. However I would be extremely grateful if some one could try and find them on the 1871, just to put my mind at rest that these people are not her parents. I know that the census records can sometimes have been transcribed wrong.

Thank you for reading!

Hi there,
Is she a spinster on the marriage certificate, what was her address listed as, and did she have an occupation? Who were the witnesses-were any surnamed Fisher?

hello...

does the occupation of George (husband) tally with occ on the 1901 census ?

Hello,

Florence is a spinster on the marriage certificate, her address is the same as her future husband George Cheshire, 3 Elysium Cottages, Fulham. She has no occupation and the witnesses were Florence Godfrey and James Driver.

Can't access the other info on Geroge's occupation at the moment - long story, but will let you know a bit later - sorry!

Thanks for your help!!

Just to let you know that I definitely have the correct family in 1901, as it's the sme address as on my Nan's birth certificate and my Father also can confirm some of the other children.

Hi there Gib,
Still looking, with no luck so far  , but thought I'd let you know that I found a possible Florence Eliza Fisher, born c1866 Cambridge, but she was baptised 27 Jul 1866 in Doddington with parents Howard and Susannah Fisher-so wrong one !

Hi Haliared,
Yes, I came up with that one years ago, and it's definitely not her! She's a big problem! Very elusive!

I even thought that maybe she wasn't a spinster and had been married already, but it's very difficult to go anywhere with that idea!

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

thanks for all the confirmation. . I have been looking too.
I looked thru quarters of births but as you say the other florence F turns up .
The french story is interesting. . . I'll have another look .

Thank you for your help!

It's all very, very puzzling! There seems no reference to her before her marriage at all! She doesn't seem to appear on any census. I thought that 1891 would give me a good clue, but not there either?
