Yes Chris, its definitely the same Florence Mary

The marriage was in November 1911 after she appears with her mother in Morningside.

This girl married at St Enoch's Presbyterian Church in "Morningside"

(her Probate on below)

Also, Jane wife of Charles Curd did go to New Zealand.

1911:
Finch Street, Morningside, Grey Lynn, Auckland.

Jane Curd (widow) and unmarried daughter Florence Mary were both in this household

It's the only Electoral Roll that she seems to be on.
If Jane died in the UK, the it means she returned after 1911
( ER may have been compiled in 1910)

I think that Jane's age on the 1906 emigration data will be an error and should read age 64yrs.
34yr old wife is a red herring

EDIT:
68yr old Jane Curd arrived back in the UK from NZ on 16 Apr 1913.
She travelled aboard the RMS Ramuera from Wellington to London

i have to take the dog out as she is getting impatient but il be back in about hour and a half,thankyou everyone i appreciate the help jackie

that is 2 of his sons that remained in shoreham,there was also 3 more daughters that stayed behind

no thats not her ,she was born ,depending on census,horley,surrey ,1842,she had 15 children,i havent found her in 1911 ,she wwas living in shoreham sussex from 1871 and died there in 1922 ,im guessing she is still there in 1911 or that is her that went nz and they got the age wrong, i don t know,lol,

Jacqueline,
This man died in Auckland, NZ in 1907
Have you obtained a copy of this will to clarify that he left everything to his 2 sons or are you assuming based on his Probate index?
