A tree on Ancestry has an interesting newspaper report about Florence applying successfully for a separation order - Retford & Worksop Herald 1908 which was only a year after they married. 

It also has a cutting detailing the 1925 incident

1921 census There is a married Florence Bradley b London 1887 in the East Retford Workhouse

Precise place of birth is Lavender Hill

[CaroleW]

Do you have a copy of the 1907 marriage cert to confirm that Florence's father was Archibald?  Just to confirm she was b 1877 & not in the 1880's

Per www.freebmd.org.uk Florence Jane Duncanson was b 1877 & her mothers maiden name was Carlisle. 

Fabulous, thank you! Several people have said she is born in 1877 - I wonder why she is listed as being 29 on the 1911 census. I know sometimes they are a year out but this is several years!

There's another daugher listed on 1921 - took me a while to find a birth reg as it's distinctly messed up on Ancestry (to be fair the typescript on the image is quite thick)

Name    Mena Bradley  (actually Mona)
Q2  1916
Mother's Maiden Name    Dumeansen  (image is Duncanson)
East Retford Vol 7b p8

Thank you Mabel - I did come across her somewhere and then lost her again! So this is great!

This is my tree 
I added a lot of articles last night. I searched Thomas Bradley in Retford, marine dealer of Moorgate and there was a treasure trove!

I knew they married in 1907 but must have missed this - thats great! I bet having the wrong birth year is whats been causing all the confusion. Thank you so much again.

Thomas Bradley was 7yrs younger than her so she probably lied about her real age
