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 :)

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.

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 :)

well can,t find a death between 1948-1950 for a florence crawford and there is a couple of marriages in london area for a florence crawford from 1943 onwards into the late 1940,s .
what is the story behind a definate date of 1949 how did you get a date if you haven,t got her name .

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.

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.
