I would like to get my Grandmothers birth certificate but Iam not sure which one she is. As its a very common name iam having difficulites. The only info I have is she was born 1st Feb 1895. Tottenham. I have found 2 Florence Browns one on GR with Parents James & Sarah..The other also on GR but with no father. I know she had parents...Can anyone help me.

You need to be more sure...do you know who she married....where she lived. Gr itself won't find her for you. You want to look up 1901 census or ask someone on here to help. The only thing is everyone is having trouble with Ancestry and it's difficult to look things up without it.

Florence Brown didn't marry her partner , They had 6 children first born 1918. The next 3 children were born in Islington, the next Rainham Essex. Thats where she died.

You seem to have Florence's exact date and place of birth. How have you come by this without the birth certificate?....I assume by word of mouth.

If the information you have is correct, then you need to send for her cert to find out who her parents were.

Thank you Sue. I only know her birth through my Mother sending her Birthday cards & telling me that she lived in Tottenham. Thank you all for your help.....Linda
