FLORENCE FLATLEY - COMPLETED

[madabout]

Sadly the number of children born to a marriage is listed next to the wife's name not the fathers.

Is Florence the only christening record you have for the family.

I can't see a birth for Florence.
All you have is a christening for her. No entries on census returns, no marriage or death.

Either poor Florence was a sickly child who they had christened, she died & the vicar buried her ?? Not sure if he was allowed to but ..

or ??

Very strangely there is a death of a Florence Flatley May 1985 in Cheshire dob 2.11.1901 and on the baptism record it gives her date of birth as 22.11.1895 though as it gives her baptism date as 20.11.1895 so thats a bit impossible

all i have on florence is 20 11 1895 christening

[Willow 4873]

On Ancestry it gives her date of birth as 22.11.1895 which is a bit impossible with a baptism on 20.11.1895 which is why I think it might be 2.11.1895 and someone mistranscribed it. The Florence who died May 1985 year of birth is out by 6 years but that depends on the person who registered the death knowing her correct year of birth and they may have been out

You could e-mail Wolverhampton Archives and ask them if they would look at the record for you to confirm the actual DOB they are usually very helpful archives@wolverhampton.gov.uk

There is a Florrie Flatley age 6months died 19 4 1896
father John
I've had this off http://www.wolverhamptonhistory.org.uk/resources/familyhistory
it does list a child with the surname Flatley whose father is a boatman.
Look in Merridale cemetery, 1850-1937

Sorry, Florrie's father is James. I can't find a birth or death registered for Florrie in th civil index.
John Flatley is the boatman next entry.
