Florence Maria BOYCE
Set As Default Person -
Name Florence Maria BOYCE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Mar Q 1876 St. Olave Southwark Reg Dist, London, England
Gender Female Died Jun Q 1877 St. Olave Southwark Reg Dist, London, England
- According to her mother's entry in the 1911 census, which shows that only 4 of her 10 children were still living (and 4 were with her, not including Florence)
She was not also not baptised in 1882 with the other children of Henry and Mary who were born between 1873 and 1879, suggesting she died before 1882, and she was not with the family in 1881, so had most likely died by then.
This death is almost certainly hers, despite the switch in name order:

Details from PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 28 Dec 2017)
Since Henry had died by 1911, the information required for married women about length and children of the marriage was not needed and was struck through, but Mary had provided it. She said she had been married 42 years (which seems a mistake as it fits neither the time from the marriage to 1911 or to the death of Henry). She also shows what is more likely to be correct, that they had had 10 children, only 4 of whom were still living (the four living were all with her at the time of the 1911 census, as was granddaughter Maud Bentley).
The 1911 census was 48 years from Mary's marriage, and just as Maud's mother had married and had children before dying, it is possible other children had too; it would not be safe to assume the other 5 had all died in infancy, although this was the most risky time.
It seems probable that only 2 of the other 5 died as babies, but looking for a marriage and / or death for the others it seems probable that they died unmarried as young adults.
