Apologies.....I should have stated James Thurlby Elsom

Apologies.....I should have stated James Thurlby Elsom

Fred is with James and Emma in 1901&1911.

1911,they had been married 24 years with one child born and still alive ? Fred is down as a son,hes aged 0 !! they are in their 40s ,,,,,


1901/1911,shows no other children,only a neice and Fred ,?

Was Emma or James related to the Mayor?

No.....neither related to the Mayor.
James and Emma raised their niece, Martha ( Marcie ) as their own and adopted Fred
Fred died aged 43

Have you looked for a Will that the Mayor may have made,,,,,,,or the obituary or even the Will for James Elsom in 1925 to see who attended his funeral.....?these could unearth something.

(Boston municipal building/town hall will have robed photos of all past Mayors,,,,,,,possibly they line the walls of the Mayors Parlour?)

Lincolnshire Chronicle.

"20th August Edition" 1886.

Marriages---------

James Thurlby Elsom,on the 19th inst. at Parish Church Boston,to Emma Platt >>>WILSON>>>

This is something to think about,,,,,,,,,,,was Florence related to Emma......Emma was Boston bn and bred,,,,,,,,

Thank you Kay for your helpful posts.....I will look into these

Emma Platt Wilson was bn 1864 -Boston.


You are welcome,,,,,,but its looking as Emma P Wilson maybe the link to Florence.

The marriage details for Emma and James are at Lincoln Archives or maybe the church at Boston still has the register to find Emmas father Mr Wilson....pieces could fall in place.

have you an age for Florence.?

Still think you should think about getting Emma's birth cert!

Its correct you need Emmas birth details and her marriage details may help by way of witnesses.

I will be taking your advice and obtain certificates, look at wills and obituaries also. I will keep you updated.
Thank you Jan and Kay.....
.No age for Florence, knowing she was unmarried
i worked on the date 1880 - + 10 years as a starting point.
