Hi

Wonder if this is her with sister Louisa. The place of birth is wrong, but Louisa is a hat trimmer in the previous census, and their ages wrong way round, what do you think?

Wonderful. Thanks.  :)
That is her, I have a copy of the report of her wedding.  She was given away by Mr E H Osborne of London.  Among the list of people who gave gifts are Mr & Mrs Osborne London, they gave a cosy  ;D. Masters Arthur and Fred Osborne who gave a chair and a flower stand .

Can't see there is a family link to the Osborns, or Amy's family the Floreys, but her father Robert Florey was also a dairyman, so presumably known to them
