GeneralHer father’s 2nd dau, her mother’s first.
Notes for Florence Ida Chamberlain
Her birth is a bit of a mysetery: This is the only birth in the region of Edgbaston from 1870 to 1871:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Jun 1870 (>99%)
Chamberlain Florence Ida King's N. 6c 461
But it would have made her almost a year old at the time of the 1871 census, instead of the 10 weeks she was reported to be at the time, 2 April 1871, of the census. Another possibility is this:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Jun 1871 (>99%)
Chamberlain Florence Ada Worcester 6c 318
But Worcester is a few miles away from Edgbaston.
