Could anyone shed any light on this person. In 1901 she was the unmarried mother of 2. My Grandfather who she put as John on the census when his real name was Clement Acaster Quinn (John is preferable I suppose!), and Frank her baby. The family (as in my mum and aunt) believe Florence went on to marry someone called Phipps and have more children. Any info on her would be great. Karen

No marriage post 1901 for a Florence Quinn on ancestry civil reg, so I think you will have to trawl through the GRO marriage indexes to find her wedding to Mr Phipps. I wonder if Clement (John) Acaster Quinn's father was a Mr Acaster - illegitimate children were often given their father's name as a middle name. Have you found her on the 1881? I can't find a Florence Quinn born Leeds, but there is this one: Household: Name Relation Marital Status Gender Age Birthplace Occupation Disability John QUINN Head W Male 40 Ireland Iron Worker Agnes QUINN Daur U Female 15 Manchester, Lancashire, England Housework Emily QUINN Daur Female 5 Bradford, Lancashire, England Scholar **** Florence QUINN Daur Female 3 Bradford, Lancashire, England Source Information: Dwelling 49 Cowper St Census Place Bradford, Lancashire, England Family History Library Film 1341959 PRO Ref RG11 Piece / Folio 4017 / 50 Page Number 29 nell
