Biography
Florence Heathcote died young.
Florence was born in 1886. She was the daughter of Joseph Heathcote and Mary Randle.[1]
When she was five years old, she and her sister were ill with influenza for some time in July 1891 and their mother had a mental health crisis which caused her to feel that they would never get better. As a result, she was drowned, along with her sister, by their mother in Epping Forest.
