Florence or Florance Annie Louise

[Catsclaws]

Looking for the Florance family who lived in and around the Gooch Street end of Vaughton street in court opposit the greengrocers . Annie Had Rosanna (My Grandmother ) Born 1904 , Billy (he was a barrow boy in the bullring) .. and (Butch who hung himself ) and another boy from her first marriage and then went on to live with a guy called Joseph Weston and went on to have several Children by him a few of the names were Joseph ,Lucy ,and Sam (altho they were Westons they had Florence on their Birth certificates because their mum and dad werent married .
Any Ideas here ? Mum says that She was Italian Jew origen and this certainly does seem to come out in the blood line several generations later in my brother and cousins.
Yours hopefully Jean

Re: Annie Louise Florence or Florance

Thanks for that one Loydd She was My Maternal Great Grand grandmother . And It fascinates me that she was italian .. I suppose because I and my 3 sisters are all blonde hair blue eyes and yet My brother and cousin .. and also his daughter and grandaughter are very very Italien looking Brown hair and Brown eyes Very odd isnt it ? I tried to find other Florances and only came up with this family ...
Father of Anna Louise,s Dead Husband ?? Might be Albert

Albert Florance and did he marry Annie loiuse Allett ?

I noticed that married or not, Annie Louisa was using the name Weston on legal documents like the electoral roll, and Florence as a third Christian name.

Re: Annie Louise Florence or Florance

Yes Its very odd isnt it . I know My Mums Uncle Joe was a Weston by birth but was called Florence on his birth certificate.
In those days widowed women with children needed to find another man to live with for the sake of the children or they would have been in real poverty . But Im 100 per cent sure she didnt marry him .
BTW those details of the florances and the Allets came off the 1891 Census for Birmingham .
The ages would work out if Albert Florence Married Annie Louse when they were older it would have worked out well for the birth of their first Child ( My Grandmother Rosanah Florence in 1904.)
There has always been a lot of mystery about this family and there is much Speculation . I would love to clear it all up . My mum was buried for 9 hours in the war when her dad and brother got killed and as a result suffered 3 nebious breakdowns and electric shock treatment .. and hence she is very confused about her early years
Thanks for your interest Jean
