I am searching for info about my grandmother and her Dickens relations. Her name is Florence L. Dickens, born ?Wisc. married grandpa Harry William Davis the year 1915 or 1916. Florence was born around 1897. 1930 Census states she was born in Wisc. Having a hard time finding her and her family. I know her father's name from her cemetery statement. See, she died her in Spokane. Her father's name on the census, is Elsworth Dickins. On this paper it spelled her last name Dickens and her father's Dickins. Said she was from Wisconsin too. Do you know about her? It is still very cold over here. Snow on the ground is hard. it is starting to snow again. Hope this helps you. Are you a Dickens descendant also? if so contacted me thru my email address, [email protected] Good luck, Christina
