1911 2 Apr -Age: 6- Residence Lambeth, London, England
1931 Sep -Age: 26-Marriage -Lambeth, Surrey
1943 4 May-Age: 38-Divorce from Phillip Crawford
1949- Age: 44-Death This is the only info I could find re her passing. We've been trying for years to find her and finding the year was a breakthrough.
Thank you very much.

Hi
I can't see a Florence Crawford death registration of the right age in 1949. Have you evidence she reverted to her maiden name after her divorce? The Florence Davis death registration in Birmingham in the March quarter of 1949 looks to be the Florence who died 5th February 1949 of 42 Rockingam Road Birmingham. Her husband Thomas Davis administered her estate probated 21st April. He was an engineer's foreman.

Hi
Thank you Trevor. It is always easier to add to a topic when others have started 'the ball rolling' with information.
I suspect this may be a hard one to crack without more to go on.
Regards
Valda

yes it did make me think regarding wether we need to work with a maiden name or her marrried one so went with what was posted , think we need to know where the reference comes from regarding the finding of the death year as well .

Hello Valda and t mo! :) Thank you very much for your help. Sorry for my late reply, been away.
Yes Florence is a mystery, the divorce was messy and things got worse later so we are not sure which surname she used. I opted for Davis but I guess Crawford is possible. There was even a possible marriage to a person w/surname Taylor.
Will delve more and try to see what I can find out.
You are brilliant here on Roots! :) I'm very grateful and still feel such a beginner!
All the best.

When I googled another family name Ancestry co uk came up with another name on a Forum. On looking that up I discovered my Florence. Actually I wasn't allowed to look it up but became a guest member and was able to write a reply. Someone else on Ancestry wrote to me and allowed me to view the family tree. This person turns out to be a cousin of mine, very far removed, if that is the correct term! :) And they are very helpful and kind.
I was shocked to find my Florence Davis's passing date on the family tree! :o
I've asked my person on Ancestry about getting confirmation re this but they haven't had much luck, although they are trying hard and keeping me updated.
In the end I thought I'd ask the experts here! :)
All the best and thanks for any help.

i,m still puzzled as to how they can have a year date but no other detail to back it up it doesn,t make sense to me , unless i,m missing something here only if you find a death for a person you,ve also got date place and volume and page number ??? ??? . it looks like you need to be a bit sceptical as to wether these other folk know what there doing as so many pull names and places or copy stuff without checking anything .

Yes I tend to agree w/you! There's some strange activity on ancestry co uk- we've found from bitter experience!! :o
But of course w/a mystery like Florence we latched on to that date because we've been searching for her for years- since the 70s or before even!
Thank you for your help.
All the best :)

Hi there.
Have found out that Florence would have used either surname- Davis or Crawford. There is no info to show she re-married and acquired another surname.
I think she might have reverted to her maiden name Davis as the divorce was very unpleasant and she wasn't treated so kindly by her ex in-laws, she lost custody of her children too.
I would be very grateful if anyone has any advice or can point us in the right direction! :)
Cheers.

have found 3 death records for a florence davis
florence e davis sep 1948 age 44 islington vol5c p 719
florence davis mar 1950 age 41 birmingham vol 9c p455
florence m davis dec 1951 age 48 wandsworth vol 5d p 736
there were a few more but the age at death was further adrift of birth year snd as most of these later records are usually quite good for birth and death years thought it best not to include them .
also tried florence crawford but couldn,t see anything helpful or worth posting as birth and death yrs to way off so a good thing hopefully
just had a look in passenger records but nothing stands out and the problem with those is that some don,t have any first name some just an initial and others have a full first name so didn,t bother looking in those with out any first name or initial especially as there,s approx 530 of them out of a total of 618 !

Trevor this is great, thank you so much. They all sound possible don't they?
I'll be passing this info on to the team! We need to follow these up now.
You've been most kind.
I'll let you know how we get on.
All the best, cheers :)
