Don't think you're going to find out who Florence's dad was either. Her mum is a widow in 1871: 1871 England Census about Ann Laphard Name: Ann Laphard Age: 28 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1843 Relation: Head Gender: Male Where born: Charlwood, Surrey, England Civil Parish: Lewisham Ecclesiastical parish: St Saviour Town: Lewisham County/Island: Kent Country: England Registration district: Lewisham Sub-registration district: Sydenham ED, institution, or vessel: 13 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 377 Household Members: Name Age Ann Laphard 28 Annie Laphard 7 Charles Laphard 4 Edwin Laphard 9 Elizabeth Laphard 1 George Laphard 6 Rose

That was dreadful, Mike. Get a grip on yourself :)) Susan

I doubt that she will have moved far Janice as 'Leaphards' don't change their spots hee hee !!!! Omg .... time for bed ... I'm going into hysterical overload !! Mike

Eva should be showing up on the 1901 as a Leaphard then with just mother but I can't find her. :-(

This is the only Eva i could find born in 1892.. i don't know if she is the right one.. 1901 England Census about Eva Henderson Name: Eva Henderson Age: 9 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1892 Relation: Boarder Gender: Female Where born: Shepherds Bush, London, England Civil Parish: Otterbourne Ecclesiastical parish: Otterbourne St Matthew Town: Otterbourne County/Island: Hampshire Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View Image Registration district: Winchester Sub-registration district: Hursley ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 83 Household Members: Name Age Daisy Brack 10 Harriet Courier 73 William Courier 74 Eva Henderson 9

I think you'd better stop now. I don't think my wallet will run to any more £7 certificates tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks to everyone. Best regards Mike

How about this? Name: Florence Leaphard Birth: Jun 1872 - Lewisham, Greater London, Kent, London Susan

No I think you have the right one there Susan. The twins thing only came up earlier this evening in another search. Originally I have only been looking for Eva and I think I've found her now thanks to all of you helping out. Many thanks Mike

Lol!! This should keep your grey cells awake tonight. Serves you right for saying you were on a roll ;-)

Mother: Births Jun 1872 Leaphard Florence Lewisham 1d 891 Rose

Yes that definitely sounds like the one Rose. I think the Lambeth connection in the marriage clinches it. Mike

No luck, Mike. However, I found Eva Gertrude Leaphard born March 1/4 in 1892 Southwark, Surrey. Coincidence do you think? Couldn't find Edgar, are you sure they're twins? Susan

Omg .... there goes another £7 on a certificate !!! Thanks for your help Rose. Mike

Then this is more likely to be her birth: Births Mar 1892 Leaphard Eva Gertrude St. Saviour 1d 163 Rose

You're welcome, Mike. I've also checked Leaphard with no success. I'll have a go at some variations. Susan

And many thanks Susan for taking the time to check Anderson out. It's much appreciated. Regards Mike

Actually one more thought occurs to me. On her marriage in 1917 to William Smith , Eva's surname is shown as Henderson or Leaphard. I wonder if it's possible that her mother remarried between the twins birth and the 1901 census to someone called Leaphard. Mike

If you purchase Eva's birth cert, it will give you the name and occupation of her father.........if known. It will certainly identify her mother............. Reg

Yes , I've already sent off online for her marriage and birth cert. It's just frustrating waiting when you're on a roll lol Mike
