Name Change: I'm not sure why Selina Anne changed her name to Florence Selina. It first appears on her marriage (although the vicar has recorded it as Florence Selaine) and she then consistently uses Florence.
It took me an age to find her birth after getting a name from certificates and I eventually narrowed the GRO down to one possibility and fortunately it all points to her being born as Selina Anne (matching father with not very common occupation, matching addresses on certificates). She was a headache for a long time though.
