I am just writing to thank everyone who has helped to find out about Florence.
A bit of background. She was the daughter of William Henry Bettinson Budge and Eliza from Torpoint, Cornwall born 1868. He elder brother William Henry was my grandfather but he was 15 years older then her as there were two intervening children who died as infants. She and her younger brother, Arthur Edwin were baptised together on 1-1-1970.
She was a bit of a nomad.
1891 Pennycross near Plymouth.
1899 Nurse in Maidenhead
In midwife practice 1901.
1905 Norfolk
1910 and 1915 Yalding , Kent
1919 Plymouth attending the birth of my father’s sister
1920 Ruan Minor on the Lizard, Cornwall
1924/5 I now know Johnshaven near Dundee
1926 Midwife Roll Godalming
1927 Wrotham, Kent
1931 Godalming
1936 Godalming
1937 Death Portsmouth.
There are numerous other instances of Nurse Budge throughout the country but it is not possible to say they were her.
The only time I cannot pin her down is in the 1901 census. I thought that she might involved in the Boer War but can’t find anything and the 1891 Newspaper article in Maidenhead states that she is a nurse.
Once again thank you all for your help
