CONN, Florence Mary b 1893

[tamarclaire]

Hello,
Does anyone know what became of Florence Mary CONN who was born on 6 February 1893 in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire?  She was the youngest child of Rev. William Conn and Ann(ie) Worsdall who married in 1881.  William Conn was a Congregational Minister who served in various locations including Sheffield, Tillicoultry and Braddon, Isle of Man before finally moving to Little Asby in Westmorland c 1902.  Annie Conn died in 1904 and William in 1911 and both were buried at Little Asby.  William's two daughters Annie (born 1886) and Florence seem to have looked after him until his death but shortly afterwards then moved to Glasgow.  They are both recorded living together at 46 Greenhead Drive, Govan on the 1921 census.  Annie married in 1926 but I can't find any trace of Florence after 1921.
Grateful thanks to anyone who can help.

Did Florence have a job in 1921?

There is a Florence Cann, age  31 of 83 Greenhead Drive Glasgow headed to Singapore to work as a tracer in 1924. This was a very skilled office job to do with copying draughtsmans drawings.

John Wright worked as a sanitary engineer according to his death certificate, ( I had a few spare SPcredits!)so presumably if Florence was a tracer she met him through work. It looks like the marriage probably took place in Singapore, if they are the right people. The address of John and Florence Wright in 1953 was St Nicholas Rd, Prestwick . His parents were Alexander Brown Wright, letterpress printer and Agnes nee McKay

Thank you all so much for your replies and for all the great information! I haven't checked out all the links yet but I am absolutely certain that you have found the right person. The Silver Wedding announcement confirms Florence as the daughter of the Rev William Conn.  Yes, according to the 1921 census she did indeed work as a tracer which was an occupation I had never heard of before.  The date of birth given on the death entry in 1983 matches Florence Conn's and her only daughter, Constance, has the the middle name Worsdall so gives added confirmation too.

Thank you all again for helping me to find out what became of Florence Mary Conn after 1921. Your help is very much appreciated. You are all stars!
