She was born Leeds according to 1901. Other than 1901 I have nothing on this elusive person. If you take the time to look for me, I offer my sincere thanks. |

If that is the only Florence Quinn, it must be her. The 1901 said she was born in Leeds - perhaps Bradford was considered close enough. I am not certain about the birth in Preswich...is that near? I thought that was LIverpool area? In 1901 she wasn't married, but a mother of 2 boys. My Grandfather JOHN (really his name was Clement Acaster) and Frank. Florence was lodging with a family called Beresford. |

Certain Jess The John you see was my Grandfather. the family story was she fell pregnant by her employers son. Grandfathers real name was Clement Acaster Quinn. She called him John boy as a nickname, though why put it on a census??? Frank is correct also as my mum remembers her Unc Frank. Florence..the story goes married a geezer called Phipps and had more children still in Sheffield area. |

Brilliant Jess that's him. Did you get the other message I sent you? The reason we have Florence and Flora is the family all told me Florence but census says Flora |
