My Great Grandmother was born Florence Helen (or Ellen) Bower in Jan 1896 She was called Florrie, married Sidney Redmond in Newport South Wales, Father was called John Bower who was a journeyman Carpenter at the time of marriage in 1919 We believe she was born in London, I have potential mother called Susan Booty, however we don;t know as her mother died when she was about 7 or 8 I think, and John remarred. We think that's when they moved to Wales She had sisters Gertie (Gertrude) Madge Elsie & Brothers Will & Ralph. She was the oldest There are links to South Wales & London (Ilford/Romford) One sister's married name was Dangerfield & she definitely lived in Essex I have a vast tree on the other side (Redmond) but can;t track down Florrie's family Anyone out there??
