CommentsFlorence Jane JONES published by Kate Stabb - 8 years 4 months 10 days ago. | | Hi Natalie, Florence Jones married Arthur A (Albert) Foxwell 1934 Cardiff. They were still in Cardiff on the 1939 register. Florence's dob given as 18 June 1883 which is an error. I checked Eliza Ellen (Nellie) Curry on the Register which gave her dob as 10 June 1885 which should be 1883 from the death register. Arthur Foxwell died in Weston 1934. From findagrave.com for Weston super Mare Cemetery, I found Florence Jane Jones Foxwell plus a photo of the headstone which reads "In loving memory of my dear sister Florence Foxwell. Died May 14th 1968 aged 85" If you look on Ancestry under Arthur Albert Foxwell, you will find a photo of Florence. Sorry I haven't got anywhere with Ernest Mayne. Regards, Kate

Anstice Terrace published by - 8 years 4 months 14 days ago. | | Hi all
Thank you for the leads, this is very exciting, I am going to do some further digging- I did not realise that my grandmother was a twin and that is a revelation- thank you Elizabeth for the information. I will order the birth and death certificate for Ernest and see what info is on them. Graham has provided an address at the time of death so that will be helpful, it is also very near to the Shorney's address who adpoted the other twin, my grnadmother.
I dont think Ernest and Flrence Snr were married, which is making it harder to track them as the marriage doc gives useful evidence. Debbie's Jones link could be a possible for my Florence Snr, it could be a coincidence but it also could be my great grandmother! I will look into this link, please let me know if you find anything else. I was thinking that the Shorney's were a family friend and offered to adopt baby Florence, they seem to live near. The Shorney family eventually moved to Covnetry with my grandmother and two of their own children, which is where my dad was born.
Thanks All
Natalie

Anstice Terrace published by DebbieD - 8 years 4 months 23 days ago. | | Probably just a coincidence as the name is so common, but my great grandmother Eliza Ellen "Nellie" JONES was living at 13 Anstice Terrace in 1891. She married into the CURRY family and through them was related to a SHORNEY family. By 1901 Nellie and her family were living nearby in Alma Street and were still there in 1911. Nellie had a sister Florence Jane born in 1882. As far as we know Florence had no children and married a widower when she was in her 50s. I am sure there are quite a few possibilities for your great grandmother Florence MAYNE nee JONES but this has certainly got me wondering about my great gran's sister.
As Elizabeth says, Florence Mary appears to have been a twin. I think Ernest Junior's death certificate may be useful. I will have another look at my SHORNEY links to see if there is a closer connection.

Anstice Terrace published by Les Martels - 8 years 4 months 23 days ago. | | Not sure if you are aware that Florence Mary Mayne was a twin with Ernest Mayne. See GRO 3rd qtr 1910 vol 5c page 311. Mother's maiden name Jones. He died 4th qtr 1910 but I can find no death for Florence or Ernest Mayne snr.
As you can find no marriage record, I would assume they weren't and look for individual records of a Florence Jones and Ernest Mayne.
Best of luck,
Elizabeth
