It is the connection with the Duffins that I really want to know. The Duffins were my Great Grandparents, they wouldn't talk about who Florence was all they would say was they just took to her!
The Duffins were farmers and lived in Leicestershire in 1909 at the time of Florences birth. They also called her Poppy.

There could quite possibly be no connection at all. Maybe the father was left with the baby and they just took her in as thier own? It looks like your gt grandparents had a large house with 11 rooms

Yes your right there probably is no connection. It would be nice if I could find out exactly how they came to have her. If only they would have talked about it at the time, but in those days they didn't.
