Hi Jenn

nice to 'see' you   

Could this be her - edit: almost certainly not - see below. 

NSW marriages
3635/1916 Reg St Leonards
Clarence V DUFFY Florence A E SHOEBRIDGE

Just at present I can't follow it up as I need to go out - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This might be his death
10693/1954 Reg North Sydney
Clarence Vincent DUFFY, parents: Nicholass, Eliza

His death/funeral

The eldest child mentioned in the death notices was born in 1916
35610/1916 reg Chatswood
Eileen J DUFFY Parents: Clarence V, Florence

So it looks very unlikely that this is your Florence given that she would be 51 in 1916.  i had hoped, perhaps, that the children were older, possibly his children but looks not. 

Boo hoo!

Hi,

Mnn thanks ladies.    So maybe a separtion or another divorce....when her sister Stella watts LEE died  in the 30,s she was not mentioned, their brother Arthur Shoebridge was mentioned.

If this is your Florence - age and State of birth matches, she didn't have a very happy childhood.  Didn't her mother die when she was young?  Poor child.   From the South Australian Police Gazette 1881.

thanks Cando,  I have seen  this one and thought how very sad,  seems as if she  must have spent her life tryign to find love,  from  what I  have  found she never had children  herself.

I have found  bits and pieces for her on  TROVE and her mother  Maryann  Agnes Edsall  her parents were not nice either,  circle  of  such  things  does seem to happen.

regards Jenn
