Im Trying to find anything on my Great Grandmother.

Florence Allen married John Perry in 1917, In England, she was 21 and her fathers name on the certificate is Joseph Allen. They moved to Australia in 1920.Im having trouble finding exactly when and where Florence was born. I know she had a younger brother Fred Allen who came to Australia. She had Sisters Celia(died around 13 yrs old) Rose and Violet. But there was others aswell but havent got names.Florence went back to England when she found out she had terminal cancer. My Aunty says she died when she was about 86 yrs old.

Hi Kelly,

Do Joseph or Florence have a middle initial? Were the sisters younger or older than Florence?

On the marriage of Florence what was her fathers occupation?

Hi, soory about the delay. been busy at work. Thank you so much for helping...

Unfortunately I dont know any middle names. on the certificate it has that Florence & John both lived at
4 The Grove , Bronch End. Thats what I can make of it. John was a barman and Florence a Munition Worker? . Johns Father is George Perry, a Ground Laborer. Florence Father Joseph Allen a Builder. I have just noticed that one of the witnesses is a E. Allen. They had daughter Eleanor F Perry in 1917 and John(Jack) in 1920.I have the record of when they all came to Australia in 1920 and it says that John is 21 which adds up with everything I have ( birth march 1899) but it says 22 on the certificate..???
My Aunty thinks that Rose was older than Florence.
hopefully this helps with my search..
Thank you to Ann, Julie and Christine.
