Sorry I have been a while in posting back to you...it seems that Florence had already been married before she married Thomas Henry Mason with the surname of Kenyon.....Im now going to do a posting for her 2nd Husband.

Thank you for your help,

Florence may have been divorced from her first husband if she was listed with both names when she married the 2nd time

Do you have any dates for when they were born?

Jax,

Thank you for your help....I think maybe Florence Kenyon nee Fortune and husband George Kenyon were both married before as they both have a W by there names....I have been looking for the death of George Kenyon but can't seem to find anything..could you help at all with this please.

I haven't got an actual Birth date for Florence Fortune only that her dau Jean b1939 to Thomas Henry Mason 2nd Husband of Florence.

I would like to try and find anything on Jane Dodd & Martin Fortune Married Sept 1907 if poss,

Thanks for your Patience
Wendy R

The W by their names is for West as in West Derby. If you are looking for George Kenyons Death it would be an idea to find out when he was born first.
If they divorced he could have gone on to live for many more years or died in WW2
Where have you looked for details of the parents? which may or may not be them of course
