Buy Vera's birth cert..........the mother's full name will be recorded on it

BUT....if she's your cousin, surely you know the name of one of her parents? Her father, presumably, as you don't know her mother's name.............

Who was he?

Look for a marriage betweeen him and a female Brown

Well, the 1921 marriage looks good, in that case!

There isn't a marriage on freebmd for Sidny/Sydney hunter to Brown

Do you know WHEN Florence was born? Did she marry?

I think I've exhausted the help I can give on this for the present.

If you are sure that Vera Hunter is your cousin, you would be wise to obtain her birth cert...............when you do, and if you need further assistance, please update this thread
