   For those that like a genealogical puzzle ...   
      
   Emma Foxley and William Fernyhough married in 1884.   
      
   Emma has children, all with surname Fernyhough, in ~1885, ~1887, ~1889,   
   1890, ~1893, ~1896, and finally Florence in 1901.   
      
   But then I discover that William died in 1896. Emma Fernyhough is shown   
   - with that name - as a widow in both the 1901 and 1911 censuses.   
      
   The 1911 census shows Florence Fernyhough, Head, 55, Widow, with (a son   
   aged 26 and) Florence Fernyhough, Daughter, 9 (so born 1902 or '1).   
      
   FreeBMD and GRO show a Florence Fernyhough birth registered in   
   Wolstanton in 1901Q3 - with mother's maiden name Mellor. No other   
   Florence Fernyhough birth registration is shown in 1902 ±2.   
      
   So, obviously, William isn't Florence's father. I haven't found who is.   
      
   I've found a marriage of an Emma Fernyhough in 1902Q3 in King's Norton,   
   to either Hiram Frederick Rhodes or Daniel Basson; a Hiram Frederick   
   Rhodes dies at 65 in 1905Q2, in King's Norton. Emma is still shown as   
   Fernyhough in 1911, so I'm far from confident about that marriage.   
      
   There are a pair of marriages in 1900Q4 in Cheadle; two of the four   
   named are William Mellor and Lucy Sophia Fernyhough. This may or may not   
   be relevant.   
      
   All placenames above are in Staffordshire.   
      
   Can anyone disentangle this - at least say who is Florence's father?
