For those who may not know her birthplace is in Somerset:

Births Sep 1900 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

White Florence Pretoria Frome 5c 405

I have looked at the 1911 census but unfortunately I have failed to spot Florence or either of her parents.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Just wanted to say that if Wendy knew that Amelia had died before 1911 it would have been useful to tell us, as I spent a long time trying to find Florence with Amelia under a lot of different combinations. (I foolishly did not check back to see that Mary had found her without parents)
One lives and learns.
