      She was my grandmothers sister and no there were no children I have a slight idea her husband was named Bert but as she had brothers both Albert and Herbert I could be wrong , she kived in Rye 1960,s and I think died around 1972 .

        Did she have a middle name?
        There is a Florence E Edwards to Albert E Sellens
        Dover
        1921 Apr-May-Jun
        2a 2392

        and a death for her
        SELLENS, Florence Ellen M
        Hastings & Rother
        1978
        JFM 18 1107
        Her date of birth given as 25 December 1893 if that helps - a couple of years out tho' so probably rules this marriage out.

          Do you know her date of birth as you can search the death registrations on Ancestry by dob - might help!

          Do you know where she died?

            Her middle name was May so don,t think this was her marriage < I would say she prob married Rye as the family seemed to stay in this area from 1890s , I can remember my grandmother visiting her in the 1960,s in rye

                  I saw that too but discounted it because of the birth date Julie. However it is the closest one
                  OOPs just seen the marriage I found was Dover not Sussex - silly me:(

                          no problems Ann,

                          I wouldnt say for definate that the marriage/death I found was her.. there are alot of Ganders in and around Brighton/Sussex so not sure where to go with it, it could be that I have the 'right' bride, but the 'wrong' death.

                          The birth was the only one that came up for Dover in Apr 1891, so would think that its your Florence.

                          Kat, mmm I know that what threw me, (re the date) but there is 'something' I can't quite put me finger on!

                              As she never had any children maybe it was because she married late in life?

                                  Thats the same parents as per the census I put up earlier Kat, is looking good, though i'm not sure that we will find out what Ann is after unless she has any rough ideas if she did marry and where, it is very much a needle in a haystack.. the only other possible way I can think of is that Ann marries off Florences siblings and sees if she is a witness to the marriages, this would then give us a time frame to work from and any possible name changes.

                                    Unless one of these surnames rings a bell somewhere with Ann, then there seems to be countless possibilities! :D

                                    My contribution!!

                                    1st marriage:
                                    Florence M Edwards / Alfred A Goble
                                    Oct-Nov-Dec 1912
                                    Rye volume 2b page 8
                                    - seems to be the right place if she was in Rye in 1911 census.

                                    2nd marriage:

                                    Florence M Goble / Herbert Trimm
                                    Jan-Feb-Mar 1952
                                    Battle volume 5h, page 49
                                    - after 1935 Rye came under the registration district of Battle.

                                    Death registration:

                                    Florence M Trimm - age at death 77, therefore born c 1891
                                    Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1968
                                    Battle volume 5h, page 6
                                    - again Battle would be the correct registration district for a death in Rye (if that's where she died!)
