I went down that route. That Florence was born 1895, appears withThomas in 1939 and dies with same dob.

Believe Florence is with her uncle John Brown as FLORRIE Brown in 1911.

Added, John Brown the uncle did have a brother Thomas.

Hi no I havent ruled out Hind - Florence/Florrie is the sister of my late grandmother who was born 11 Jan 1906, then adopted and living with adoptive parents in the 1911 Census. My late grandmother didnt know she had any blood siblings. I am trying to trace now what happened to Florence. Father Thomas Brown dies on return from India in Netley Hosp. (Brother born in India grew up with grandparents in Reading)
