1909 Florrie Elizabeth LANKSHEAR Marriage to George NORCUTT

1901 census - Florrie Larkshear

Florrie Elizabeth LANKSHEAR Marriage Dec 1909 Greenwich Vol 1d-1644

7 November 1909 at St Paul Deptford

Florrie is 38 a spinster and George 52 a Railway Collector father William a Bailiff deceased - both living at 17 Norwich Street

Florrie shows father as Thomas Sylvester and does not say deceased which shows they were in contact - I hope he was there Presumably Florrie met George because of Clement both being in Railway's Winesses Thomas Norcutt - E Babbage and Frank Dupree

2009 from Rosemary a descendant of Florrie and George

"Florrie died February 1954 in Croydon. George Norcutt died in Worth in 1940 (aged 82).
They had a daughter, Lydia Sarah Norcutt 4/7/1911 and she died Aug 1987 in Bromley.
Lydia Sarah had two daughters, Rosemary Ann Piper (mother of descendant) and Jasmine Piper.
Lydia also had a brother William but it seems they were not close ."

Photo from Rosemary and is July 1937 at time of Lydia's marriage.
George was 79 and Flora would have been 65/66 then.
Flora was very elegant and young looking for her age.

------------------------------

Please see also Arthur LANKSHEAR - Home Child to Canada - Flora placed Arthur into Fegan Homes in 1910 saying "Aunt unable to support him since marriage". Arthur was born 1900 - Flora did not show any names for parents on admission papers. Obviously Flora had been looking after him but assuming she no longer had an income of her own found it difficult.
