In 1922 Florence Ellen Redford crossed the Canadia-United States border. She was a 22 year old cotton weaver from Preston on a football tour. Place of birth York. Other names on the same page: Lilian Parr, Carmen Pomies, Alice Mills etc.. [1] and next page. Registration is required, site is free. This a primary source, but is there a possibility it could be someone else? Cattivi (talk) 17:08, 16 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
It seems highly likely, given those details and the names of the people she was with, that it's the same person. An interesting source. Hugsyrup (talk) 08:02, 17 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
