Probate record - a copy of her will may prove useful - can be ordered through the site. However looks as though she died intestate and administration of her affairs was granted to William, so probably nothing to be found that way.

Sorry, this record is officially closed. Check if you can open a closed record.

Looks like Florence remarried - the original has her West name scored through and Griffiths added. There is a date in the margin of 7.12.44. Not necessarily the date of change but the date the change was noted in the register.

Only 1 of the possible 5 children born to the marriage appears to be on the 1939 register, as a closed record which means either they haven't died as yet or their death has not been picked up. Are the other possibles with other family or already been evacuated? I can't see obvious deaths pre 1939

There are possible births showing on the same site for children of the marriage. As all may well still be alive I will leave you to find them yourself. There are 5 possibles in the Sculcoates RD from 1925.

You can the "do" the next generation.

Try looking under the search heading top right of this page to see in "search all members trees" if anyone else has the names in their tree. You can then try to contact them via the GR site

For an idea of where and when as you didn't say.

The marriage can be found on the free to search site -
