I should add that Harriet Johnson is only a theory, but personally I think Malyon may well have been on to something, especially as she is in the right area, and looking at the 1871 census and the birth record for that child, was probably the mother of at least one illegitimate child.

Unfortunately I can't find any baptisms to corroborate any of this, so you'd need to obtain a copy of the birth cert for Florence, at least, to substantiate this.

It would cost £6 for a pdf copy, or £9.25 for a hard copy of the cert.
