I don’t know much about trees but Elizabeth married him. Perhaps it didn’t last long.
On FindMyPast newspaper snippets, John Thomas Clare looks to have been in trouble about 1885, I think.
You could get a couple of birth certificates but I would think they would just have her name.
The one for Flora would be best because I assume it is your Florence,

John Thomas Clare married Elizabeth Wright.1880
But...

She seems to have all children with mmn Wright.
Florence was born c 1871 and probably registered as Flora.

Witness to marriage were Florence's siblings, John Thomas Wright and Agnes Wright.

I don’t think John Clare has much to do with it really other than he married Elizabeth and that accounts for her in 1891 as Elizabeth Clare with ‘Wright’ written above.

Ah thanks. I knew it was wood but thought it might have been transported by barge.

Not sure what you mean.
We have the family in 1891 in West Ham.
In my opinion, looking at censuses and births, I think Elizabeth Wright is the mother of Florence and several other children.
She married John Clare in 1880.
Here they are in 1881
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q27C-56GH

These children probably not John’s but you would need to check Wright births.

Grace and Kate (seen in 1891 as Wright) we’re registered as Clare mmn Wright.

I haven’t checked all births on GRO however.
