Florence Victoria Hannah Greaves nee Stewart and Tom Atkins Greaves
Little is known at present about Florence's origins, although she seems to have been born on 1 April 1881 in Kensington, London. [In a later document her date of birth is given as 1891.]She married Tom Atkins Greaves in 1923 in Lambeth. In 1939 they were living in Wormleighton where Tom was a farm worker. It is possible that this was land belonging to the Leigh family, since when Florence died in Warwick Hospital in 1956 the couple had come to live in Stoneleigh and her address was East Lodge; her husband was a retired forestry worker.
