	? 1891 England Census Florence M A Holland Age: 5 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1886 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: Frederick W Holland Mother's name: Sarah A Holland Gender: Female Where born: Birmingham Civil parish: Aston Ecclesiastical parish: St Mary County/Island: Warwickshire Country: England Registration district: Aston Sub-registration district: Duddeston ED, institution, or vessel: 26 Piece: 2419 Folio: 109 Page Number: 31 Frederick W Holland 30 Sarah A Holland 26 Maud B Holland 8 Florence M A Holland 5 William F Holland 3 Ann Holland 58 David Charles 28 Source Citation: Class: RG12; Piece: 2419; Folio: 109; Page: 31; GSU roll: 6097529. ?? 1901 Wales Census Florence M Holland Age in 1901: 15 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1886 Relation: Daughter Father's Name: Frederick W Holland Mother's name: Sarah Ann Holland Gender: Female Where born: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England Civil parish: Swansea Ecclesiastical parish: Llangyfelach County/Island: Glamorgan Country: Wales Registration district: Swansea Sub-registration district: Llangafelach ED, institution, or vessel: 17 Household schedule number: 17 Piece: 5072 Folio: 120 Page Number: 3 Frederick W Holland 40 Sarah Ann Holland 36 Florence M Holland 15 Frederick Wm Holland 12 Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 5072; Folio: 120; Page: 3. You need the marriage certificate for Father's names, as it could be that she was registered at birth as just Florence, and picked up the other names later, though as she married after the war it is more likely that she could have travelled far from her birth place.
