Biography

Flag of Lincolnshire (adopted 2005)
Florence (Lilee) Bratley was born in Lincolnshire, England.

Florence was born about 1877, to Christopher Johnson Lilee and Elizabeth Ann Bacon Lilee and baptised in early 1877, in Surfleet, Lincolnshire[1]

Florence married Joseph Bratley June 7, 1897 when she was 20 years old.[2]

The couple had four children:

By the time of the 1901 census, Joseph and Florence had moved to Nottingham, where all the children were born. Joseph is listed as Antique Dealer.[7]

Joseph Bratley Head M 27 Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire
Florence E Bratley Wife F 24 Surfleet, Lincolnshire
Florence E Bratley Daughter F 2 Nottm
Marjorie Bratley Daughter F 1 Nottm
John Bratley Brother M 23 Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire

In the 1911 census, the family was living at 249 Mansfield Road in Nottingham, where Joseph is still working as an antique dealer with wife Florence assisting in the business.[8]

Joseph Bratley Head M 37 Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire
Florence Bratley Wife F 34 Surfleet, Lincolnshire
Florence E Bratley Daughter F 12 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Marjorie Bratley Daughter F 11 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire
Moriss Johnson Bratley Son M 8 Nottingham, Nottinghamshire

At that time, Mansfield Road was a centre of business - neighbouring businesses include everything from Fancy Drapers, Iron Mongers and Confectioners to Coal Merchants, Dressmakers, and Hardware Dealers. It is likely that most people had their residence connected to the business. (see research notes)

She passed away about 1951, in Nottinghamshire, with her death registered in early 1951.[9]

Research Notes

Florence is shown as "Florence Bacon Lilee" in census records - Bacon being her mother's maiden name. Birth and marriage records show her as "Florence Elizabeth Bacon" which may be errors - nothing found to-date to suggest there are two different people. (Jan 7/2020)
