Having overspent on the certificateds lately, I am trying to enconomise. Can anyone help me discover which Florence Potter married Charles Cherry in Leicester March quarter of 1894. There are two Florence Potters born that year - and it looks as though they both survived. Anyone out there got any tips to find out which is which - or do I resign myself to bread and dripping again next week? Alice

Bit difficult when there are 4 lol Potter, Florence 16 Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Florence 17 Leicester, Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Florence K 16 Leicestershire Daughter St Margaret Leicestershire Potter, Florence N 16 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Ok, rule out no 4 - wrong birthplace, and no 3 - the one in the marriage has no middle name. So, that leaves 1... Potter, Agnes E A 10 Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Elizabeth A 12 Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Florence 16 Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Harry W 8 Leicestershire Son St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Joseph A 1 Leicestershire Son St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Josiah J 44 Leicestershire Head St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Sarah A 40 Leicestershire Wife St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Sarah A A 18 Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire and 2.... Potter, Florence 17 Leicester, Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Henrietta 16 Leicester, Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Sarah A 52 Wigton, Leicestershire Head St Mary Leicestershire Potter, Sarah A 21 Leicester, Leicestershire Daughter St Mary Leicestershire Given their daughter's name in 1901.. Charles Cherry 26 Leicestershire, England Head Leicester formerly Augustine Friars Leicestershire Charles J Cherry 1 Leicestershire, England Son Leicester formerly Augustine Friars Leicestershire Florence Cherry 26 Leicestershire, England Wife Leicester formerly Augustine Friars Leicestershire Henry E Cherry 5 Leicestershire, England Son Leicester formerly Augustine Friars Leicestershire Sarah A A Cherry 4 Leicestershire, England Daughter Leicester formerly Augustine Friars Leicestershire I'd go with 1. You will have to get the marriage cert to confirm her father's name though. I reckon she's this one Births Sep 1874 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Potter Florence Leicester 7a 169

Thank you all very much. i have just found another problem with Charles, so I think I will have to warn the bank manager anyway. I think I may have spent a long time researching the wrong lot! Will post another query in a moment . Alice
