I am unable to find a marriage in Vic or Qld for Florence,

Marriage in Victoria:

Flo Maud RUSSELL (b.TAS) m. Ernest BROWN (b.SY) 1912 #5473

***Perhaps she thought she was born in Tassie where her parents married & three older siblings were born.

Did you read all the links posted on the thread?

It would appear Florence Maud was not married to John William CRIPPS - notice linked by Merlin.
