Notes for Florence KNIBBS:

I suspect that Florence may well be the same person as Clara. There is no record of the birth a a Florence Knibbs at this time. The 1891 census return shows a Florence Knibbs and it places her between Maria and Joseph, aged 14. The 1891 census is the only record I've seen of Florence, so I suspect it's wrong.
