My grandma was born in England in approx. 1880 her name was Florence Churchill and she married William Lewry I know she was a distant cousin of Sir Winston Churchill but that is all I know so any information would help

Welcome to the messageboard!

Florence CHURCHILL and William LEWRY married in Steyning (Sussex) RD in 1903. You can look them up on the FreeBMD website (www.freebmd.org.uk) and this will give you the reference number (year, quarter, registration district, volume and page) which will enable you to purchase their marriage certificate from www.gro.gov.uk. The marriage certificate will show the name and occupation of Florence's father, which will help you to find her birth.

Interestingly, FreeBMD has another LEWRY/CHURCHILL marriage:

William Ernest LEWRY and Clara Eliza CHURCHILL were married in Fulham (London) RD in 1905. They are on the 1911 census, living in St. Pancras (London), with their children Ernest William (4) and Clara Winifred (2).

Just coincidence, or is there a connection to your family?

I've tried looking for Florence on various censuses before her marriage, but there are too many, so her father's name is definitely needed.
