There was previously two separate sisters noted Florence and Roberta, Florence was married to an unknown Morgan, being as there is no other documentation of her existence in an otherwise well-documented family lead me to conclude it must be the same person, therefore I have added Florence as a second name for Roberta. It could be they are sisters, in which case only the name Florence will need removing from Roberta, no other documentation is found for Florence.Piazza-75 05:30, 19 July 2016 (EDT)
