Hello Suz and Margp,
You are correct with what you have posted.
Florence Stanley at this time is suffering from short term memory loss and has mislaid documents. Hopefully when I see her I can get more information from her.
The Stackhouse's information you have is correct and I will add here what I have learned through bits and pieces that have been found through various sources. I realise that more is added here from my original posting :

From the Probate Index
Herbert Ambrose Thorn of 3 St Anthony's Road Blundellsands died 1 jan 1950 probate to Gertrude Thorn widow and Rosa Shone wife of Leonard Shone. Effects £41,125 0s 6d.
Gertrude Stackhouse was employed by Herbert Ambrose Thorn (born Herbert Ambrose Murrell in London. ) at his business Thorn's Cafe and Temperence Hotel, 60-62 Tithebarn St. Liverpool, as confirmed by the 1911 census (he also operated a number of smaller tea rooms in the area).
Herbert's first wife, Jane Douglas, died in 1938, and four years later he married Gertrude; at the time she was 57, he was 70. The probate record of Herbert's estate shows it was divided between his widow Gertrude Thorn and Rosa Shone, wife of Leonard Shone, but not in what proportion or why. Rosa and Leonard Shone were my grandparents - he was a plasterer and she was Herbert's second daughter who worked as a caterer at the family business for many years. She later managed it after her father retired. Herbert had three other living children when he died, but apparently none of them were remembered in his will.I hope this can be posted for you without administration blocking.
David.
