Any other info
At the time the pension was awarded, Flora was living at 20 Lozells Grove, Lozells, Birmingham. This was Flora's mother's house, and as Flora and Frederick probably married after Frederick had enlisted it is reasonable to assume that this was their brief marital home. At the time of the 1921 census, Flora, her mother, and her son were still living at 20 Lozells Grove, At the time of the 1939 Register, Flora was living alone still at 20 Lozells Grove; no further trace can be found of her son Frederick.

Flora never re-married and continued to receive a Widow's Pension for 65 years until her death, aged 99, on 16th July 1983.

At the time of the 1939 Register, Mother Flora was living alone, still at 20 Lozells Grove; no further trace can be found of her son Frederick.
