| NOTES: | |
| 1: | Thomas Frederick was in the British Army for many years, as was Florence's father. It may be that they met at an overseas posting and married abroad. Their first two children, Leo and Eileen were born on South Africa and their daughter Patricia was born in Limerick, Ireland. Maurice was born in England. |
| 2: | Eileen Emma Maud (Swarbrick) Pine and her 6 year old daughter Diana were killed when a German submarine torpedoed the SS City of Benares. |
| 3: | I suspect that Florence's father changed his name when he joined the Army. I believe his real name was Charles Stephen Roseberry. |
| 4: | The above information is taken from the 1911 Irish census; the GRO indexes of births, marriages and deaths online at www.freebmd.org.uk; and a copy of the National Probate Index held at the Lancashire Archives in Preston. Information regarding the death of Eileen Emma Maud (Swarbrick) Pine and the sinking of the City of Benares was taken from a number of websites. |
