    Name:
    Harry HOBB (b 17 Feb 1855), was the owner of the Grapes Hotel in 1901 when Florence was living there. He was a widower and had 3 children, two of whom also lived in the Hotel. I can't prove there was ever a connection between Harry Hobb and Florence, but I suspect there was. For one thing, barmaids in hotels were usually family members or wives of the owner. Harry lived there with 2 of his children with no other domestic help. Florence also gave her children names that were quite similar to Harry's. Harry's children were: Alice Maud Thurza, Edith Emily Beatrice, and Albert Henry George. Florence named her children: Edith Florence Alice, William Henry, May Beatrice, and Albert Edward.

    Harry Hobb lived in Bristol from about 1887 until about 1896 and then went to the Grapes Hotel in Chipping Sodbury. In In 1904 he was back in Bristol and in 1909 he remarried. He remained in Bristol until his death in 1921. The only relatively stable time in Florence's adult life seemed to be between the years of 1903 and 1908 when she lived at 11 Clare Rd in Bristol, possibly coinciding with Harry's return to Bristol.

    Harry's children immigrated to Canada and Florence would eventually do the same. There is no mention of Florence or her children in Harry Hobb's will.

    The 1901 census took place on March 31, 1901, so Florence was about 3 months pregnant with
    William Henry FISHER. But she already had a daughter, Edith Florence Alice FISHER (b in 1900), who is not living with her in the hotel.
    Florence lists her name on the census as "Florence Fletcher", and states she is single, but William and Edith's birth certificates state
    that her name is Florence FISHER and that she is married to Harry FISHER. Where are Harry and Edith?

    Update 2016: DNA evidence seems to suggest that the father of Florence Fletcher's first two children, Edith and William, was Harry HOBB.

    Harry married Thirza Ann COCK on 15 Dec 1881 in Plymouth, Devon, England. Thirza (daughter of William COCK and Amelia ALLEN) was born about 1859 in St. Teath, Cornwall, England; died on 31 Dec 1891 in Nelson St, Bristol, Gloucestershire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
