Hi Phil,
I only have access to the various free websites, but will try and help.
As you don't seem to know ages hence birthdates etc, I'm guessing they are no longer alive, and you don't know their place of burial etc ?. Please clarify, I'm sure you know but such info could be critical, thanks.
Meanwhile, searching FreeBMD for deaths for "L FLuck" - this one stands out to me, is there any chance she could be your Lily ? I cannot find a cirresponding local birth record for this name, suggests she was married.
Deaths Sep 1954 (>99%)
FLUCK Lilian 49 Gloucester R. 7b 393
Sadly no obvious Lilian Gardiner Births c1905 on FreeBMD, this is the best I can find.
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Mar 1909 (>99%)
GARDINER Lily Ross 6a 436
Altho Gardner is quite a common surname in the Glos/Herefordshire(Ross) area, it seems that Gardiner is not, especially in Hereofrdshire, so to find one in Ross may be significant. Of course records may have spelling errors/variations so ???
Of course it's possible that her Ross marriage is a red-herring and not her home parish ? Certainly, the excellent and highly-recommended "FamilySearch" site shows more than a few possibles in the Stroud area, Lily/Lilly/Lillian is a popular Gardiner name in that area from the 1870s or so onwards. I cannot see any obvious entries under Herefordshire.
Here's one example that seems plausible;
1911 Census, Chalford, Glos, Stroud Reg District.
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Dorcas Gardiner Wife F 51 Married. Chalford, Gloucestershire
Kate Gardiner Daughter F 21 Pin worker. Gloshire Chalford
Lionel Gardiner Son M 18 Carter, coal. Gloshire Chalford
Helena Gardiner Daughter F 12 Glosshire Chalford
Lily Gardiner Daughter F 9 Glosshire Chalford
Percy Gardiner Son M 7 Glosshire Chalford
John West Son M 6 Bisley, Gloucestershire
Which looks like this this family (Bussage is very near Chalford);
1901 Census, Chalford, Glos, Stroud Reg District.
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Frederick J Gardiner Head M 36 Eastcombe, Gloucestershire
Dorcas Gardiner Wife F 41 Bussage, Gloucestershire
Alfred W West Step Son M 18 Bussage, Gloucestershire
John W West Step Son M 16 Bussage, Gloucestershire
Frances K Gardiner Daughter F 11 Chalford, Gloucestershire
Frederick L Gardiner Son M 8 Chalford, Gloucestershire
Helena D Gardiner Daughter F 2 Chalford, Gloucestershire
There are many more records for this family on FamilySearch site including father Frederick's christening.
??
Unfortunately there seems to be quite a few William H Flucks in our general area esp Gloster/Stroud, altho most entries have the initial letter of a third name too. It seems likely the H is for Henry.
Could this possibly be our man, born abt 1906 ?.
1911 Census, Hardwicke, Gloucester, Wheatenhurst Reg District.
Household Role Sex Age Birthplace
Austin Henry Fluck Head M 32 Dock labourer. Glosshire, Hardwicke
Adelaide Louise Fluck Wife F 33 London Old Rd, Kent
William Henry Fluck Son M 5 Hardwicke, Gloucestershire
Jessie Elizabeth Sarah Fluck Daughter F 3 Hardwicke, Gloucestershire
Phyllis Mary Fluck Daughter F 1 Hardwicke, Gloucestershire
Interestingly(given my earlier observations ref 3rd names) the nearest birth match on FreeBMD is this;
Births Dec 1905 (>99%)
Fluck William Henry J Wheatenhurst 6a 337
Corrsponding entry on GlosBMD is;
Birth Details
Child Surname Child Forename Mother's Former Name Year District Office Register Entry
FLUCK William Henry Jesse WOOD 1905 Gloucester Gloucester, Haresfield 13 76
Hoping this helps Phil, and more importantly is correct. Needs a lot more work of course !!

Hi Phil,
I'm pleased you actually knew far more than appeared to be the case. It was clearly a challenging search, and in retrospect I clearly should have waited for more clarification from you, sorry for leading the thread on a wild goose chase re Lily Gardiner.
Please, next time, can you tell us all you know at the very beginning.

At least I found the correct William, thanks Mike for confirming my suspicions.
Following-on from the 1911 Census posted earlier, here's his father and grandparents in earlier years, all from the FamilySearch site.

Here's Adelaide's death record, confirming her birth c1877;
Surname First name(s) Mother/Spouse/Age District Vol Page
Deaths Sep 1958 (>99%)
TOWNSEND Adelaide L 81 Gloucester C. 7b 347
Adelaide Louise/Louisa Wood is not a rare name in London, but this seems the most likely fit for her birth record ?
Surname First name(s) Age District Vol Page
Births Jun 1875 (>99%)
Wood Ada Louise St. Saviour 1d 129
Ada is short for Adelaide, and the 1911 Census suggests her birthplace as Old Kent Road, London, which is in the district of St Saviour, Southwark.
Yet still struggling to find her in census' prior to the 1911, perhaps due to the limitations of the FamilySearch site and not seeing actual census images.
