Comments

Florence Eileen Burgess was born on July 8th, 1904 in Bradford, Yorkshire. She married Charles Hyde on March 29th, 1934 in Wharfedale, Yorkshire.

The 1939 Engalnd and Wales National Register has her living in Wimborne Cranborne, Dorset, with her son Michael, Hyde's mother, Annie and a Hong Kong Chinese amah (Au? Ah Jin). This suggests that she had probably been living in Hong Kong with her husband (who worked at the Kowloon Branch of the HSBC) but had returned to the UK. It was difficult for British women and their children to enter Hong Kong after the evacuation of summer 1940, so she probably returned before that date and somehow manged to avoid being sent to Australia.
