Hi Lynette
Sorry for my tardy reply. I am having trouble finding Florence Chapmans birth. She was 23 when she married in 1912 which means she was born in 1888/89. I have found 4 birth records. It also stated her fathers name was John and he was deceased at the time of the marriage. I have also researched some of the 1891 census's but can't find anything to totally match.
Cheers
Beth

George Nicolas Cooke - Trying to find details of my grandfather George Nicolas Cooke. He married Florence Chapman in 1912 in Wirral, Cheshire. They had 10 or 11 children. Some names are George (b 1914), Ernest (b1917). Eric, Henry (22/9/22), Florence (b1920). Henrietta. (Others may have been Dorothy. John. Mary but not totally sure). Henry (known as Harry) emigrated to Australia and married Theresa Zita Downs.
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Thanks
Beth
