Yep that is the 1881. I know about the Tomalin Family but not the Matthews. I think its probably because its a fairly common name.

Ellen died 1939 (sorry should have mentioned that aswell). She didn't meet Florence's children

1911?

MATHEWS, Thomas Head Married M 29 1882 Carman Hoxton London
MATHEWS, Allen Wife Married 9 years F 26 1885 Tailoress Mens Hoxton London
MATHEWS, Thomas Son M 8 1903
MATHEWS, Florie Daughter F 6 1905

Registration District: Shoreditch Sub District: Shoreditch South Enumeration District: 21 Parish: Shoreditch

Original says 4 children born, 2 survived. They may have just assumed a marriage date one year before oldest child born for the sake of propriety.

Address: 9 Allerton Street Hoxton N County: London

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou MarieCeleste I think Allerton Street was where Florence was born. I cannot thankyou enough!! Its a bit weird that they say they are married because they weren't until 1913...

I don't think spelling was Thomas' strong point! It's no good me asking FMP to amend as it is the way he filled in census.

Wonder if either had been married before, which is why they weren't able to marry until much later?

Certainly not unusual for a couple then to say they were married when they weren't.

Thankyou MarieCeleste we'll probably never know why they didn't marry until later...

Okay ... well I guess I've done enough "finding" of things you already knew but just didn't get around to telling us!
