__________________________

There was 1 plain Florence Moran who died in Congleton, Cheshire in 1976.

There is no Florence Moran born 1890 in the 1939 Register.

There were two Florence Moran marriages in Staffs:
(a) In 1924 in West Bromwich to William F Williams,
(b) In 1935 in Stoke on Trent to Arthur R Edwards.

There are 25 Florence Moran marriages nationally, 8 of which were from 1911, her last sighting, up to her reaching the age of 45.  The husbands were:
  Year    Name                             District
  1911    George Ball, Arthur Moran (?)    Prestwich, Lancs
  1913    Edward Ballance                  Durham
  1913    Edwin Curryer                    Islington, London
  1914    Albert Dobson                    Tynemouth
  1924    James D Yarwood                  Stockport, Cheshire
  1926    Leonard Thornhill                Manchester North
  1929    James S Murphy                   Liverpool
  
In 1939, with the above surnames for Florence, her births were on
Williams     1 Mar 1890            NO!
Edwards     16 Dec 1890            No!
Bell           None in Q3
Ballance     9 Jun 1890           Yes
Curryer        Npme
Dobson       5 Feb 1890            No!
Yarwood        None
Thornhill   26 Nov 1890            No
Murphy      22 Nov 1890            NO

So the only marriage which has near the right dates in 1939 was with Edward Ballance.  Sounds like we should get that marriage certificate.

Of course this all assumes that the various Florences both knew their birth date and gave it truthfully.  There is no way that this is guaranteed.

Put her on the list for the 2021 census.
