Hmm, the adoptee is now decreased 2 years ago.

Yeah, it would be hard to find that unless I am lucky to have someone to find that right Florence. I will let my friend know.

You need to buy her marriage certificate to see if she gives a name and occupation for her father. You should also get her age from the marriage certificate. I suspect that will lead you to the 1903 Maidenhead birth (which ties in with the DOB given on her death registration).

Then you need to buy the birth certificate for Florence Ada Challis born in 1903 and registered in Maidenhead to get the name of her mother.

I do think that if the death registration is your Florence then the correct Florence has already been found for you - you just need to buy the birth certificate to get further back!
