Hi Ann,
I have found a record of her birth on the bdm.
With this you should be able to apply to the registry/archives office for her birth certificate which will name her parents.

Florence Selina Mann
born 1896, 3rd quater
Ayleston
Leicestershire
volume 7a
page 290

Good luck
Janet

Have just discovered that Walter J Mann's wife Sarah Bennet died in 1900 & in 1901 we see Walter living with his daughter Alice & her husband Nathaniel Blaksley.

So, is:
Florence S Mann c1897, Leicester, Niece

Walter & Sarahs daughter (probabably). They married in 1876 & I know of 4 other children in addition toFlorence 1896.
Ann 1877, Walter 1880, Adelaide 1882 & Ernest 1885 - big gap though????
Are there other siblings between 1877 & 1896?

Or is Florence not Walters daughter, but the daughter of one of Walters siblings?? Who are Walters siblings?

Can anyone help trace them & confirm who Florence is please
