Does anyone know anything about this lady born 1867 and married Edward Ernest Smythe 16 May 1891. Her father was Frederick Furbank listed as a Sapper. I can't find any trace of her in a Census, just a marriage.

All help much appreciated.

Trevor If you delete here and post on Find Ancestors it will be easier as your post may be a bit lost on here, when you do so add this as it gives location

Marriages Jun 1891 (>99%)


Furbank Florence Gertrude Medway 2a 950

Smythe Edward Ernest Medway 2a 950

but there isn't a birth showing for Florence at all, not with that surname, nor can I see a marriage for Frederick Furbank to tie in, not in England anyway.

Researching:
Names: Fishlock, London. Whetman. Keatings from Kerry. The best way of keeping my temper with idiots.

Try and find a marriage for her parents


every chance she could be under her mothers surname?
