Hello all,
After all these years, I found her  !!!!

With Ancestery adding more records, I found Florence Agnes Schnarndorff marrying in 1921 in New Zealand.  I have ordered the marriage certificate because on line new Zealand records don't show parents names at death.  She appears to have died in 1931 aged 67 which would match her birth year. 
Also the records show other Schnarndorffs.  Florence second husband Charles Schnarndorff  was a seamen and he is shown on NSW records along with an A Schnarndorff.  I found a death of Albert SCHNARNDORFF  He is buried in the same cemetery as  his son Albert Frederick  as well as his Wife Jane and Florence Agnes.
So I am thinking when Charles died in 1920 Florence for whatever reason has gone to Nz and meet and married William Arthur Wells.
Hopefully it was happy.
I have added all this information just Incase it may be of help other researchers

Regards Jenn

Well found, Jenn.

You have looked for this lady for a very long time, so you must be very pleased to have found her. it's always great to hear the 'end' (if there is such a thing in genealogy!) of a search.

Nice to 'see' you.   :-*

Hi Jen....Have a look on Paperspast NZ and you will find her death notice and a notice from Wm's first wife, whom he married in NSW seeking a divorce on the grounds of desertion..

Marriage in NSW
7909/1908
WELLS William A
TREGEAR Matilda M
District Granville.

http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article85985916

Jen I think there is more information on a print out than the actual death cert in NZ.  Could be wrong and memory isn't what is was.

Cheers
