I'm probably clutching at straws here.

In 1921 Florence was a visitor to an address in Wanstead. (So possibly London based at the time)

A 1918 electoral register has a Florence May Jones and David Jones at 4 Powis Lodge, Vicarage Park


Year 1919 & 1920 at 4 Powis Lodge Vicarage Park there’s a Lizzie Jane Jones at the same address with Florence & David.
Do you know who she is?

Is this the same couple on 1911 census address 4 Vicarage Park Plumstead

David Jones   Head   1873   Assistant teacher   Cardiganshire Aberystwyth
Florence Mary   Jones   Wife   1875    Glos Tewkesbury
Gwladys Mary   Jones   Daughter 1903   Kent Dartford
Edyth Myfanwy   Jones   Daughter 1907   Kent Dartford
Violet Lilian   Wright   Servant 1895   General servant domestic   London Plumstead

JONES, EDYTH  MYFANWY  mmn   MILNER 
GRO Reference: 1907  M Quarter in DARTFORD  Volume 02A  Page 628

Background.

Florence was born 8.1.1864 St Helier, Jersey. Parents John & Mary.

She is found on 1871/81/91 & 1901 channel island census.

1921 census Florence Potter Jones
1939 UK war register living with her sister Lydia Jane Hood and Lydia's husband Paul
1940 dies aged 76 as Florence Potter Jones

Did she marry in the United States? , have children? when did she return to the UK

added--no evidence of a Uk marriage between 1910-1919

Have you found Florence on a passenger list arriving back in UK

Sadly I was clutching at straws. David Jones married Florence may Milner in 1901 Tewksbury., my Florence was still single in 1910.

I took another look at UK and Ireland, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960 and
sorry I can’t seem to find a Florence May Potter or Jones born c1864 returning to the UK after Aug 1910 ??? As she was going to visit a friend in Pennsylvania I checked for a Potter/Jones marriage Pennsylvania, U.S., Marriages, 1852-1968 but nothing

Is this your Florence?

Florence Potter Jones
Residence Year 1930  Address   8/9 Pembroke Square
Residence Borough   Kensington and Chelsea

Sorry not to be of any further help

Hi Ladyhawk, I strongly suspect that is Florence in 1930 electoral register. She is in Wanstead in 1921. Many thanks for your efforts on my behalf with this post
