Welcome to the boards Samantha.

Are you aware of Freebmd? This gives free access to the indexes for births, marriages and deaths for England & Wales 1837-about 1960 (gets patchier when this recent).
Have a go, more fun to do research yourself isn't it!

If you look on freebmd, ...the site suggested by Jan,..... you will see that there might be more children born after Florence May, who have the same possible parents.
They could possibly be living.

Try checking there to see if you can spot marriages or deaths

Can I recommend that you untick the 'Answered' option.
People will come on here later and have more information to add, but if they see the tick, they might think you don't need any more help.

Some threads go on for ages, with more information added as and when it is found.....

This might be Ada. You can find her marriage and possible children by checking on freebmd then looking to see if the names feature in any trees on here.
Good luck
