Notes

Birth of Florence Phoebe J Smith in FreeBMD in October-December 1884 in Alton (2c 170).

In the 1891 census as Florance (sic - on the original) Smith aged 6, born in Headley, Hampshire and living with her parents (James and Jane), brother (Ernest) and two sisters (Darcy and Margaret) at Red Hearne Green, Churt, Surrey.

Marriage of Florence P J Smith and William Boxall in FreeBMD in April-June 1912 in Guildford (2a 168).

I assume they emigrated to Canada soon after the marriage as her son was born in Vancouver in 1913 and her daughter was born there in 1914.

Her husband died in 1917 in France.
