Cheers Annie,
They probably knew of each other.
Cousin Mel told me to look on Ancestry for death of either William J or Florence E Whitmore in 2000. He married her in 1981, but no sign of his earlier marriage.
All the best,
Cedric.

Could well be him, Anne...
Birthdate tallys with 1837online.
Now to check Plymouth & Boston Newspapers for obit etc.
SSN issued 1951 Mass. perhaps he applied for naturalisation before getting married for 1st time...

Will be back,
Cedric.

Here's something funny - here's a Florence E Young -

Name   Florence E. Young
SSN       031-03-6681
home   08610  Trenton, Mercer, New Jersey USA
Born    16 Oct 1918
Died       26 Apr 1995
SSN issued   Massachusetts (Before 1951 )

The Social Security was issued at the same time and State - was she English too ?
- the thing that bothers me is the address!

Let me know what you think!! ( by the way she was the only Florence E ... )

Annie

[cedricdedric]

Mmmmmmmmm
There is a Florence E Young SSN  at
02366 South Carver, Plymouth, Mass.(Where Will J died)
Still alive & well...

[liverpool annie]

Well good for you Cedric .....!
See you don't need me at all - you do great on your own!!
Where was she?

Annie

Did you say she died in 2000 too? without sounding too personal Cedric - John was a long living man - were you able to meet him? he probably had plenty of stories .......

[cedricdedric]

We think she is still alive, being younger than him.
We never knew he existed, let alone met him. His father was my grandfather's brother. Their father was a London policeman living opposite The British Museum, another William YOUNG. He died after falling off the back of a runaway horse & trap in 1903.
Families eh? Who'd 'ave 'em?
Regards,
Cedric.
