Find Ancestors

Good afternoon, my grt grandmother is FLORENCE BERRISFORD no middle name and surname spelt this way, married in the warrington area.
I have her marriage cert and it states she was born 1893.
can anyone find her on the 1901 census please I would love to know who my grt grt grandparents were, I can only assume warrington, lancashire area at the time, sorry I dont know her fathers name or occupation THANKYOU

Just looked on her marriage cert, sorry it says fathers name John berrisford stone mason deceased in 1913 still of warrington sorry

You have her marriage cert, but you don't know her fathers name?

He should be named on her marriage cert?

Tracey

Possibly your Florence?

Births Jun 1892
Berrisford Florence Bradford, Y. 9b 47

it says fathers name JOHN BERRISFORD of legh street warrington, stone mason.
Hi Tracey, deceased in 1913

Bradford could be, cant find one in warrington myself
maybe they werent all registered then

Who were the witness's?

Tracey

witnesses were John Geering, I know how this ties in as Im a geering, and Jessie Heeson it looks like, at st pauls warrington, lancs

This is the only birth around that time for a Florence without a middle name:-

Name: Florence Berrisford
Year of Registration: 1892
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Bradford
County: Yorkshire - West Riding, West Yorkshire
Volume: 9b
Page: 47

You could order the certificate but give her father's name as a reference checking point so you only get it if the father's name is right.

Im wondering if they were irish, the Geerings were originally, but berrisford doesnt sound very irish does it.
hope you had a nice holiday

thanks kathleen I might have to do that

I have found this....

Is is possible Florence has lied about her age??

John is a Bricklayer's Labourer....

Ha you have just read my mind, I think she was lying about her age, and I have just said exactly the same to my aunt.
it wouldnt surprise me tracey

oh no but the marriage cert I have is dated 1913 so she would have only be 13 years of age.
what reasons would someone not be on a census I wonder maybe they were out of the country

They were either not here or mistranscribed...

Tracey

so many ways to spell berrisford isnt there, maybe it was mistranscribed. thanks for giving it a go

You might have a problem if this is her father...

Deaths Mar 1898
Berrisford John 40 Salford 8d 70

This John never made the 1901 census.... you will need to order the birth cert to see her mothers name.

Tracey

that could be it, the only birth cert for me to order is the yorkshire one, and see if her father is John, there doesnt seem to be any others

maybe she was brought up in the workhouse in warrington

.....or her mother remarried and she's listed under the new married name?
