Sidney Florence was born in London in 1884 and married Alice Elizabeth Cask in 1908. I wonder if anyone knows if the couple emigrated from England as all my searches have proved fruitless. Recently some kind GR members informed me of Sidney's sister Fanny Gertrude and family who did emigrate and I am wondering if she was not the only sibling to do so.

Once again Choccy - you have solved a problem for me. Now I know why I can't find him anywhere. They left England one year after his sister Fanny Gertrude went there with her husband and children. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I am very grateful.
Best regards,
Jennifer

By the way Choccy - was there any sign of any children from this couple. He lived a lot longer than she did - so that leads me to think she was hardworked and had raised a family!!
Best regards,
Jennifer
