    ".. there was Florence my grandmother, the eldest surviving sister. It snowed the day she was born, May Day 1859. It so happened that shortly afterwards her mother's soldier brother, Hargreaves Robinson, came to stay with his sister Betty on sick leave from Netley Hospital where he had been nursed under Florence Nightingale. He said "You have half the name why don't you give her the other half" "
