Flossie West & William Block

Flossie Jane West (Emma Jackson's Great Grandmother) was born on 28 June, 1899.

Flossie married William Osborne Block in the summer of 1921. Together they had five children Florence May, Douglas, Geoff, Sheila Jane and Gillian.

This photo of the Block family was taken with all their children on Flossie and William's Golden Wedding Anniversary, in July 1971, in the garden of 7 Pilgrims Way, Thorpeness.
