Thank you for this info. I have put this Florence Mary in my tree to see if any one else has a link to it and I may even be able to go to Liverpool and visit the research dept. to see if I can further this link.
Hi you never told us William George and Elizabeth had a daughter named Florence Mary c 1911..so the Florence Mary in Seamans Orphange has to be his sister..to name a child after her..
Have you checked out the records for the Seamen's Orphanage? They may give information on the family. Othere orphanage records I have seen give the reason the child is there any other siblings and were they are and information on the family's circumstance.
