According to a tree on Ancestry, Florence had two children from her first marriage (Pring).

Births Sep 1911 (>99%)
Pring Ivy M Gray Lambeth 1d 630


Births Jun 1913 (>99%)
Pring Alfred E C Gray Camberwell 1d 1734

Both married and had children. Alfred married twice.

I can find out more details if you're interested, but they're not blood relatives of Maud - only her brother's step-children.

ArgyllGran Report 14 Nov 2016 12:03

Unfortunately, it's hard, if not impossible, to trace any living relatives.

If Minnie's daughter Mary did marry Leonard Moore, they don't seem to have had any children.

There's only one subsequent Moore/Jonas birth showing up. But it's in 1955 in Romford, so is probably the child of a different Moore/Jonas marriage which was in Romford in 1954.

William & Florence's daughter born 1921 doesn't have an unusual enough name to identify any particular record of marriage or death (if she didn't marry) as being relevant to her.
