  Notes	One of the few traces I've found of Florence is her appearence with her grandfather in the 1891 census (see Isaac Minter's Notes). Florence was almost certainly the Florrie Minter who enterered Chartham Hospital (aka St Augustine's, aka East Kent Lunatic Asylum) in Kent on 4 January 1897 and didn't come out until she died on 6 November 1948. The 1921 census shows Florrie MINTER (42, formerly a servant) as an inmate of Kent County Asylum, Chartham, Kent. There is an entry in the 1939 Register for Florence Minter, single, born 1879, a patient in Kent County Mental Hospital, Chartham, Canterbury, Bridge-Blean R.D., Kent.
