Welcome to genesreunited, Eric.

Presumably it is your tree on Ancestry with information about Harold's parents and siblings - so which ones are you descended from (Eric W, 1911?)?

Thank-you

Added:
Have you got Florence Orren's birth registration?
Her parents did not marry until 1893, and Florence shows as the sister of her mother in 1891 census?

So her birth? :
Births Sep 1882
Selfe Florrie Rosa W Greenwich 1d 998
