Florence was born in Pewsey in 1900 to Emily Ashton, a domestic servant. I would love to know what happened to Florence and Emily. Emily was sister to my Great Grandfather Thomas Ashton who lived at The Swan, Raffin Road in Pewsey.

many thanks Heather

If I was to take a gamble on a marriage for Florence I think I'd put my money on this one,


Surname First name(s) Spouse District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1921 (>99%)
Joel William H Moody Maidenhead 2c 1161
Moody Florence A Joel Maidenhead 2c 1161


I would hazard a guess that the middle initial could be for Ashton??


This could be a possible death?

Name: Florence Joel
Probate Date: 5 May 1947
Death Date: 1 Mar 1947

Address was 58 st marks road and named husband as William Henry Joel, motor mechanic. So the address would be the same as Emily's probate record!!!
