Blaine Report 12 Aug 2014 02:50

I am trying to find Florence Little b. 1889 Manchester Lancs.
She is home in the 1901 census with her parents Joseph Cave Little
and step-mother Susannah (Harper) b. 1860 Rawtenstall (from census)
In 1911 Florence is at the home of he aunt Clara Newsman.
Florence is 22 single and a typist.
Where did she go after this?
Also would like at least a death year for Susannah...
Thanks in advance to any suggestions.
