1921 census index can be accessed for free on Find my Past but you have to register. That shows Florrie Amy Curtis b 1880 so another ‘fib’ re age perhaps.

Florence and Thomas CURTIS, and Zena are also on the 1939 register at Sheffield. If you have access to Ancestry or findmypast you can see the record, and their birth dates. Most libraries have access if your friend doesn't want a subscription.

They married Mar qtr 1912, Sheffield (9c/549).

As heywood says, Florence's birth registration in Dec qtr 1876 at Sheffield - the GRO shows her mother's maiden name as PRIEST. You can search for her siblings on the GRO site using surname "PINDER" and mmn "PRIEST".

Mckha489, my friend was so pleased to get such a very quick response to our post.  It isn't always like that.  Thank you very much.

Many thanks also Heywood and Maddy  (and Neale) for the extra information.   She has gone home and I will leave it to her to a) register and b) take it from here!

I told her RC was a great site!
