Florence Amelia Payne

Florence Amelia Payne

Needs an update: I think she married in London; see Ancestry; need Marriage Cert to prove it. Was she a black sheep rather than dying young?

Florence was Ralph’s sister; she was six years younger than him and preusmably named after hre mother, another Florence. I can’t find her after 1930 when she would have been 21 – she may have married or possibly died young. Marj didn’t list her when describing her father’s siblings.

The facts:

Florence was born on the 5th December 1908 at 1 back 28 Garbett Street.

For the 1911 census she is with the whole family, again 1 back 28 Garbett Street – “At home, baby”

1921 with the family at the same house.

1930 living with Mother & sister Marian at 1 back 27(?) Garbett Street. (inclusion on this record – I think it means she was she now eligible to vote aged 21?? are there any other residence records for her around this time, or for Florence snr without her?)

She is not with her parents for the 1939 register; there is a Florence Smith with the correct date of birth in West Brom which but I can’t find a marriage record for that; equally there is no other obvious marriage or death record either. – no, that was using registration date; she’s born on my birthday
