I think the Connecticut record is one of Ancestry's false matches .....

There are people called Florence on the page and people called Alton and they've somehow contrived a match out of that.

The City Directories are usually only adults, similar to ERs.

Unfortunately my sub does not give me access to these two databases:

Massachusetts City Directories

Connecticut City Directories

Looking to see what info they show for Florence Madge Aiton. If the right person she was born 1910 and I do have her on 1911 census.



Thanks
