Brenda, Florence Newman married William Penna in 1900. She married Albert using her married name of Penna in 1919.


See my post on page 1 from last night

I gave the marriages of Florence to William then her marriage to Albert.

I also gave the births, and where appropriate, the deaths of her children including Rose's death.

..however, in view of the 1911 census for Florence's husband at the time, one would have to doubt that he was actually a Penna

From that 1911 census that I posted, the first son, 'Berter', was baptised as a Penna, as given by rootgatherer, whilst 'Willie' was registered as a Wortley.

In 1911, the couple claim to have been married for 11 years, but there is no record of such a marriage,which isn't surprising, as.........................

Florence, nee Newman, was, at the time, married to Mr Penna...................she didn't marry Albert until 1919, as per info posted above

She had to wait for her husband to die in WW1 before she could marry the father of her children
