So many questions, maybe we shall never know, but I shall still keep on delving and who knows? My thanks to you all and any further thoughts/hints/guesses much appreciated. Jan

P.S. The Westbury Court connection is pure speculation because family gossip has it that Florence worked at the "big house" and from the description she gave, Westbury Court fits the bill, although there are presumably other "big houses" in the area, however, the Wooldridge name must surely tell a story as there is no father shown on Alfred's birth certificate, or is it a red herring?

Burial entry for Joseph Grindon (22 November 1889) tells us that he was Parish Clerk for 46 years and this is the most likely reason he was a witness at the wedding of George and Mary Ann.
In the 1851 Census Joseph Grindon is described as an Assistant Overseer and Parish Clerk which indicates an involvement with the running of the Workhouse at Westbury on Severn. http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/glos/vol10/pp97-98

It would appear that it has been indexed incorrectly in the GRO Index. I suspect that this is the one being sought.
Births Jun 1860
Green Florence Elizabeth Westbury on S 6a 184

This is from the 1861 Census:
Household Number Given Name Surname Relationship Age Estimated Birth Year Gender Birth City Birth County Birth Country

91 Mary A Dean Wife 26 1835 Female Kingsinford Staffordshire England
91 Florance E Dean Daughter 11/12 1860 Female Kingsinford Staffordshire England

It would appear that George Bayliss Dean died in 1867:
Deaths Jun 1867
Dean George Bayliss 33 Stourbridge 6c 108

and Mary Ann remarried:
Marriages Mar 1870
DEAN Mary Ann Stourbridge 6c 204
VALLANCE Joseph Stourbridge 6c 204

Not found them in the 1871 Census. This is the 1881:

79 Hall St Alfred W. Dean Son 2 1879 Male Scholar Dudley Worcestershire England
79 Hall St George B. Dean Son 19 1862 Male Carter Out Of Employ Kingswinford Staffordshire

This is the birth registration of Alfred Wooldridge Dean:
Births Mar 1879
Dean Alfred Wooldridge Dudley 6c 133

Florence's marriage in 1884:
Marriages Mar 1884
Dean Florence Elizabeth Dudley 6c 18

There were no penalties for the non-registration of births until 1875 (or thereabouts!)

Some people just did not bother to do it.

I have really hit the "brick wall" and would be so pleased to hear if any of these names rings a bell. Thank you, Jan Coleman.
