Perhaps Florence is using one of her other names on later census. On my tree I have an Annie . She is Annie on the census and married as Annie but I couldnt find her birth. It was only when someone contacted me related to the man Annie married I found her real name was Phoebe Ann. She had her birth and death cert. Correct parents so no mistake. Margaret

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 833 Send Message	Have you ever thought, that she may hacçve been born away from Norfolk and just registered later by grandparents as though she was born in Norfolk. Was Adeline in service in 1869? where did she go later?

	Florence was illigitemate. Hence the change of surname and relation to grandparents. Yes have looked for marriage under the three surnames and found nothing yet - widening the search with variations. Chris

	Do you know where she lived? maybe she got married. If you knew where she might of lived you could just search the name Hazel, her father and the area on a site like Ancestry. If you have an area I could search for you

	aaaaaaggghhh! Where shall I start? Honor Bridges formerly Hazell c1825 and James Leonard Bridges c1829. had a daughter Adeline Elizabeth Hazell b 1850. Adeline had a daughter Florence c1870. In 1871census Florence is mistranscribed as Florence Maryell aged 1 living with Honor and James and registered as Granddaughter. By 1881census Florence has become Bridges and Daughter. I then loose all trace of her either as Bridges, Maryell or Hazell. Don't seem to be able to trace death or marriage for her, she can't have disappeared into the ether can she? Can anyone help PLEASE? Thankyou in anticipation. Chris
