I am researching Flora Ellen A. PESTER b. 1874, Holdenhurst, Hampshire.
d/o Richard John PESTER and Mary FRANCIS.
I have seen her on the 1881 Holdenhurst census living in the village
with her parents and siblings. her father being a Painter/Glazier.

Have also seen her on the 1891 census living at 10 Lorne Terrace,
Holdenhurst, 16 yrs and a Domestic Servant with Mary Munckton who was
letting apartments.
I have a GRO marriage Registration for her..Mar qtr 1896 reg'd
Christchurch. It is possible she married somebody COUCHMAN, for at
Flora's sister....Bertha Mary PESTER's marriage in 1902 to William
Charles READ, a groom, there was a witness...Flora COUCHMAN.
Does anyone recognise any of the above names?
Thanking you for your interest
