Marriage of Henry James Flower jnr to Selina, 1901-1921 Middlesex.

[Higpoidius]

Another missing marriage. Can anyone help?

Henry James Flower bpt. May 8 1881 Bishopsgate, London. Father: Henry James Flower, boot maker. Mother Fanny Eliza Flower nee Mason.

1901 census: living with his grandmother Dorothea Mason in St. Botolph Without, Bishopsgate, London.

1921 census: living at 42 Millbrook Road, Edmonton, Middlesex. with wife Selina.

I can't find him in 1911, so somewhere between 1901 and 1921 he married, but can't find a marriage for them.

Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

Was she the Selina Rebecca Flower b 1880 died 1970 Herts?  Henry died Herts 1950.

If so - she was born as Carter

[rosie99]

Did he die in 1957, if so widow was named as Selina Rebecca Flower on probate index - address was St Pauls Road, Islington

Red alert but posting anyway

Thank you CaroleW, rosie99, ShaunJ and Christine53 for this information, and so quickly! It never ceases to surprise me how all of you at Rootschat can find these trails. No wonder I couldn't find a marriage in London... It looks like they both must have intended to immigrate to Canada, and then came back to London. I wonder if they knew each other before Canada? Or perhaps met on the journey out? Another story to ponder over.

Many, many thanks again to you all.

Dorothy Ella died 21 Jul 1910 and Henry Thomas died  19 Jul 1910 in Ottawa.

Perhaps that's why they returned to England.
