Florence Hart

[Keith847]

Hi all

I am trying to find any information regarding my wife, Susan’s, grandmother, Florence Hart, without much luck I’m afraid. I would appreciate a little help from someone who is a bit more skilled than me and can spare the time please.

FLORENCE HART 1st April 1889 – 24th September 1976.
The only info. I have is below:

1901 Census aged 12, inmate at Coleshill, Warwickshire.

1912 Marriage to George Frederick Wooton 9th Nov. 1912 at Aston Brook, St Mary, Warwickshire. Her Father is recorded as being a lock maker named Joseph in the marriage register.
Q4 1915 George F Wooton died in Birmingham.

1922 Q4 Marriage to Bertie Alwyn Beaumont-Thomas in Birmingham.

26th July. 1955 Bertie A. B-T died in Birmingham.

1976 Died in Birmingham.
I cannot find her birth registration, 1891 census, or the 1912 census records for her.

Florence had two siblings:-

JOSEPH HART 1901 census shows his birth as abt. 1891. It also records him as being an inmate at Coleshill, Warwickshire. This is the only info. I have found.

ALBERT HART 1901 & 1912 census shows his birth as abt. 1897. Both census’ record him as being an inmate at Coleshill Warwickshire. Again, this is the only info. I have found.

According to family stories, one of her brothers served with Bertie during WW1 in the Warwickshire regiment, he was supposed to have been a cobbler. I have a copy of Bertie’s war records.

Also according to family stories her mother had a drink problem (I’ve found a Priscilla Hart that was placed on the Birmingham blacklist and prohibited to buy alcohol but I cannot link her to Florence)

Kind regards
Keith

I dont really know why I am posting, as I have nothing to add, other than to share in the frustration!
I cant find sight nor sound of them on 1891
And yet, the fact that Joseph was born 1891ish and then Albert in 1897ish suggests that whatever happened resulting in the children going into the workhouse, had not happened by 1891! 
The lack of anythingin 1891, nor birth regs for them, suggests that they started life with a different surname, maybe.
Not much help am I, but I will keep fiddling around to see if I can come up with anythng.

Wonder if this is her?

Right birthdate, and father is Joseph  and a lock maker!

Hi

Not having much luck either. Could be totally unrelated but there is a Priscilla Hart in the Birmingham Workhouse infirmary in the 1891 census, born c1862 Birmingham. Could be there having Joseph, perhaps.

Class: RG12,  Piece: 2401, Folio: 118,  Page: 23.

How do we know for sure that Florence, Joseph and Albert are siblings? Yes, they are all in the workhouse together, but maybe just coincidence there are three children with Hart surname?

This looks like the birth reg of the Florence Lambert

Apr/May/Jun 1889
Aston
Ref 6d 408
Florence Lambert

Maybe not the correct Priscilla, looks like she's in with a two year old Thomas Hart too.
