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

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.

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

He should be named on her marriage cert?
