Draper's dance school seems to have been founded by a Raymond Draper. If you google it, you will see that they have a Facebook page.

Info about the dance school here:

http://www.drapersdance.co.uk/about-us/

Raymond and his wife married in 1972.
Two sons, born 1973 and 1975.

From ER, Raymond born approx. 1933-35.

There's a possible birth for Raymond in 1935.

The parents of that child were Henry and Florence E, married 1927.

Would this be your Florence?


In 1939 Henry and Florence were living in Chesterfield, Derbyshire - so maybe not the right family, unless Florence moved to Walkley later.

There's no closed record with them in 1939, but no likely death for their son that I can see.

1939 implies that Florence later married a Priday
