Picture of Flora Gwendolen Motron

Flora Gwendolen Motron (daughter of Gaston Motron and Mary Melina Clapshaw) was born 24 Aug 1893 in Hove, Sussex, and died Jan 1979 in Worthing, West Sussex. She married Herbert Walter Pope on 24 Dec 1913 in East Preston, son of George Edward Pope and Lucy Mount.

 Includes NotesNotes for Flora Gwendolen Motron:
Born in Montgomery Street, Hove, to Mary Melina Clapshaw and Gaston Motron, a chef, originally from France. Living at 20 Graham Road, Worthing, as a dressmaker, when she married Bert Pope, aged just 20 when he was 38. Brought up Gordon and Don, before being widowed when Bert died in 1953. She had 26 years of widowhood, living at 53 Beaumont Road, Worthing, before dying of a heart attack in January 1979.

She was a large-framed, rather stately old lady, often covered in rouge and face powder, and always with a bag of peppermints. Jean didn't really get on with her, but she was harmless enough. Dad was quite jolly when she eventually died, although I think it was relief rather than glee.

Gran used to come to Sunday lunch about once a month, with Dad popping in to see her about once a week on his way home from work. I always remember her waving her walking stick around and taking about half an hour to walk up the drive and climb the steps.
