Help needed
« on: Thursday 08 May 25 16:12 BST (UK) »
I am searching for details of Florence Millie Amelia O’Coburn
Her name appears on her son Reginald Edwin Gray’s birth certificate of 23/2/1923 in Stilton, Peterborough as Florence Millie Amelia Gray late Coleman formerly O’Coburn and shows her age as 26.
I know she married Frederick Gray 4/9/1919 as a spinster in Sandhurst and is shown on 1921 Census with husband Frederick and children living in Peterborough. Her age here is shown as 30 and 7 months.
It shows her as born in Kensington, London. Her Death cert shows DOB as 21/12/1893.
My problem is I can’t find any reference to her with the name O’Coburn.
Help.

Does her marriage certificate show her father and his occupation?

"Her name appears on her son Reginald Edwin Gray’s marriage certificate of 23/2/1923 in Stilton,"

Do you mean her son's birth certificate of 23/2/1923 in Stilton. Mothers Maiden Surname O'Coburn

There is a birth in Kensington
Florence Amelia Colman , March quarter 1894 with no mother’s maiden name.

I was thinking Millie is often short for Amelia
