Florence Webb was born 31st May 1896 at Bulimba in Brisbane, the daughter of Charles Joshua and Olive (Sturgess) Webb.
Florence's father and pregnant mother left England together with two children for a new life in Australia. Unfortunately these two children died on the voyage. A daughter was born soon after their arrival, but she died as an infant.
Altogether 14 children were born, only 7 of whom reached past the age of 6 years.
Florence married William Milham, who is also remember on these pages, and had several children, among them Hazel Jean, who married a U.S. Serviceman during WWII. They had a son Harry John a.k.a. John, who stayed in Australia and was raised by his grand-parents.
According to Harry, Florence was a very strict but fair grand-mother who provided to the best of her ability a loving home environment for him.
Florence was buried with her husband William in a Military grave. No headstone was ever placed for her by her family on this grave until 1994 when Harry placed a memorial for both his grand-mother and his mother whose ashes had been brought out from the U.S. following her accidental death.
She is sadly and deeply missed by her grand-son "John"
