Brilliant
Well that helps so much, and kind of goes on from the story - after a death in the family, Frederick took Frances under his wing - so I guess if the father figure died, Frederick being the eldest took on the responsibility?
Just a thought, but matches our family history conversations really well....
Thanks

Grimes/Toose
However, there the trail seems to come to an end as I cannot find either Elizabeth, Frederick or Frances in the 1891 census records. There is a marriage registration in the December qtr 1890 at Bath registration district, vol 5c, page 1049 of an Elizabeth TOOSE to either a William GRIMES or a George TAYLOR but who knows whether she is the widow of Edward Charles.
Elizabeth TOOSE married William GRIMES in Bath St Paul's district in 1890 ref. C8/2/089 (from BathBMD) - but there is no double entry indicating an earlier marriage on Elizabeth's part.
The closest census match in 1891 that I can find (without playing around too much with spellings) is
Conham Hill Bottom
William GRIMES (32) b. Hanham, Gloucestershire - Lozenge maker
Elizabeth GRIMES (42) b. Hanham, Glos.
No children listed.
[RG12/1941 fol.84]
I can't find the birth of an Elizabeth TOOSE in Bath - the closest I can get is Harriet Eliza Toose b. 1849 in Widcombe & Lyncombe.
Nothing conclusive, just lots of threads to follow...

From the Bath BMD
Frederick DIXON married Francis TOOZE at St Paul. Bath in 1900
There is a Frederick Dixon birth registered at Twerton in 1873 whose Mothers Maiden name was KING.
I can find no record of the birth of Francis Jane TOOZE in the Bath area in this timeframe.
Just as an after thought have you considered variations of the spelling? I come across a few TWOSE

I find this post very interesting. I have been searching for background information regarding my maternal grandmother, Mrs. Louisa Ellen Johnston (Landsdown) who was born in Bath, Somerset, England on the 11th of January 1877. As per her original birth certificate (which I have) the birth was in the Sub-District of Lansdown in the County of Somerset. The registered location of birth is recorded as #47 Milk Street, Bath. Louisa immigrated to Canada in 1884 at the age of 7 along with a sister and brother. She was sponsored by a Canadian orphanage as a "Home Child". I have details of her immigration that I obtained from the Canadian government (free of information access). Louisa eventually married, had three children, and died in 1969.
I have recently found a 1957 letter addressed to Louisa's Canadian address that was signed, "love from sister Annie and Family". Up to this time I was totally unaware that my grandmother had a sister by the name of "Annie". The envelope has a return address of "Mrs. F. Dixon, 24 Oak St. Lower Bristol Road, Bath, Somerset, England.
I placed an inquiry on Ancestry.ca for assistance from anyone who could identify "Annie" for me. I received a reply that read "Annie is a nick name of Frances Jane Toose step sister of Louise Ellen. In all of her childrens' baptism she is listed as Annie".
I do not have the answer, but I question: is there the possibility that upon the break up of Frances' family that she taken in by Louisa's parents, since they were neighbors on the same street? Louisa's father's name was John Thomas Lansdown (1853-1913), and her mother's name was Mary Jane Bird (1850-1884). Based on this 1957 letter I have no other explanation.
Your thoughts/comments are appreciated.
