Hello Katharine,
I said I would send information as I found it.I think I have found a very likely marriage for Florence James on Genes re-united. From this it looks as though Florence may have married a Frederick Long in London. This would explain why we could not find her on any Gloucestershire records after 1891.The marriage was in June 1900 in Hampstead to Frederick Long who was born in Chelsea in 1879.I have it on pretty good authority that they went to Canada but I do not know the year. I think this would be a good lead to persue.The person who posted the information is,I think, a descendant of the Longs.It could be that Florence went away in service which a great many young women from the area did in those days.
I hope this is of help and that you can find now details of her emigration.
Brian James.
