Re: Sydney Flower died in 1916 His wife supposed to have died in 1935??

Barry,

Christine managed to acess the original at City Road Cemetery and Jane Howe is indeed Jane Flower.

I have corrected our error.

From GRO index, Percy Flower born 1892 mmn Cawthorne. The burial record must be a mistranscription

Dave I have now got the marriage certificate, its difficult to read. It looks as though both Sydney and Jane were illegitimate, neither had the parents on the record, Jane was 18 and Sydney was 22, both living on DUKE STREET. Cawthorne may have been spelt Cawtharne.

Hi Barry,

On the 1891 census, Sydney gives his place of birth as Barlow, Dby.

On the 1881 census there is a Sidney Flowers, step-son, born Barlborough, Dby. He is with George and Clara Storey and their three children, at Killamarsh.

Sidney Flower bap 1 February 1863 at Barlborough, mother - Clara Flower.

Moira.

Update. Just had a look at the marriage on FMP. One of the witnesses
was Blanch Storey.
