Florence was probably born about 1858 or 1859, according to the age details given at the time she married.
She was married at age 21, and was a spinster. Florence had only been resident in Christchurch for three days when she and Edmund lodged notice of intention to marry.[1] They married on 4 Mar 1880 at the Church of the Good Shepherd, Phillipstown, Christchurch, New Zealand.[2][3]
Florence signed the Women's suffrage petition submitted to the New Zealand Parliament in 1892[4]
and 1893.[5]
The electoral rolls of 1893 and 1896 listed her as a married woman living at Waituna in the Waitaki electorate. She was a married woman living at 18 Edward Street, Waimate, in 1911.
Florence died on 2 October 1950.[6] She was buried at Waimate, South Canterbury.[7]
She was a widow of Waimate at the time of her death. She left her entire estate, worth £89.17.4, to her daughter Norah Hellen Vigers.[8]
