Florence may have married several times, maybe as many as five times but Belway was her surname when she died at Mission Convalescent Hospital. Other surnames are Thompson, Gordon and I believe Brown and Strickland, although the timeline seems to suggest just two marriages unless the others were short and she took Thompson back each time as her surname.
