Florence Annie Whipp (nee Wilford)

[CATZPAW]

Hi all

My maternal grandmother was DORA WILFORD b. 1901 Rotherham, Yorkshire. d. 1990 Halifax, Yorkshire.

She married CLIFFORD HAYES 1902-1928. Their 4 children were:-
MARY ELIZABETH 1922-1993
FRANK 1923-1988
BARBARA 1925-1997
D. 1927 still living

DORA had several siblings, one of whom was FLORENCE ANNIE WILFORD 1899-?.

FLORENCE married FRED WHIPP 1897-1970 in Halifax, Yorkshire on 23 Dec 1920 (my grandmother was a witness in the Church register).  They had a daughter, WINIFRED born Q2 1921 in Halifax.

They emigrated to Australia sometime after Winfred’s birth.

Fred died in 1970 in Fremantle, Western Australia; I found the record quite easily on Ancestry.co.uk site, however, I cannot find a death record for Florence, can anyone help please?

I am also interested in any information regarding when and on what ship they travelled to Australia and any information regarding other children they may have had.

Kind regards
CATZPAW
