Jackie had kindly offered a Kidderminster area birth for a Florence Gertrude in 1883.

In 1881, I believe Edward is the person shown as Edward Henry WOOD living with his grandparents at Steps House, Ullingswick, Herefordshire.

SORRY...As Edward H.WOOD
He was also there in 1871.

I have not found Catherine before marriage.

I bought the birth certificate for the baby, Edward Henry SKERRETT, to see if his mother's former surname was VAUGHAN... It was.

The marriage for ref too

Marriages Mar 1885
Skerrett Edward Henry Bromyard 6a 741
Vaughan Catherine Bromyard 6a 741


Where were they both in 1881? I'm not having any luck with that.


I missed something (post now deleted) that must have been births to go with the deaths you posted Gwyn?

Jackie
Thank you for looking.

Unfortunately there is a corresponding death, which is likely to be that Florence....and another one in 1887.
It is likely that they fit into the family somewhere though.

NEW UPDATE on Page 4
,Please, ...I need help to find a beginning and an end for Florence.

I first find her in 1891 in Wales with Edward and Catherine SKERRETT, ....but transcribed SHERRETT.
Her age is given as 9, suggesting a birthdate of c. 1882, but Edward and Catherine (nee VAUGHAN ) didn't marry until 1885, so Florence may not be Edward's daughter.

In 1901 Edward and Catherine have moved back to the Whitbourne, Herefordshire and Florence is in Montgomeryshire, Wales working for Rev. Chas HARRINGTON.
After that..... I lose her.........

With a birthplace given as Ullingswick, Herefordshire, Florence should have been registered in the Bromyard area, but I can't find her birth in either surname.

Any help to give a fuller picture would be really welcome.

Thanks

Gwyn
