Post subject:  Hennebury, Thorne, Price

I am looking for any information on Florence Hennebury (nee Thorne). She was born 1899, died Oct 28, 1963 at the Grace Hospital in St. John’s, NL and buried Oct 31, 1963 at Forest Road Anglican Cemetery, St. John’s,, NL. And she died at 64 yrs of age.
She had two known siblings - a brother Llewellyn Thorne (who predeceased her and once lived around Nunnery Hill, St John’s, NL) and a sister Mary Price (nee Thorne) married William Price (who in turn had a sister Isabel Price who also married a Thorne (unknown 1st name and unknown if related to Mary & Florence)) they lived in St. John’s somewhere in the Battery, listed in the 1935 & 1945 Census with their children.
Florence married John Isaac Hennebury about 1924 as their first child was born Jan 1925. I have information on her husband and their children.
I have copies of both Florence and her husband’s obits but there is no further info
I am unsure of where she was born or who her parents were.
I am originally from Portugal Cove, NL and though family conversation (and old history) know that Florence is not from Torbay, NL

In the 1921 NL Census there is a Thorne family with children Llewelyn and Mary from New Harbour, Trinity Bay;
William S Thorne, Aug 1872
Johanna Thorne, Apr 1874
Thomas Thorne, Aug 1894
Andrew Thorne, Nov 1896
Llewelyn Thorne, Mar 1899
Leonard Thorne, Mar 1900
Mary Thorne, Feb 1904

No Florence, the 1935 & 1945 NL Census has Florence as age 38, which would put her about 1897/8 and she would fit into above family and could have gone of the island to work or be married by 1921. You would need to find the marriage record for John Isaac Hennebury and Florence.

Hi,
Thank you for looking.

I have looked into that family and the death notice for William S Thorne and it doesn't mention Florence and his daughter Mary is not married to William Price.

Also according to Florences death notice she was 64 years old at the time of death on Oct 28, 1963.
