Worsdell family.

Florence Emily Stow (b. 1882) was the daughter of Alfred F. and Marian (Waters) Stow of England. In 1905, she married Frederick Ernest Worsdell (1878-1930), an assistant sales manager for a construction company in Blackheath (London, England). They had three children: Gwendolyn Mary Worsdell (1907-1992), who married Harry Vander Jr. in 1929; Florence Joan Worsdell (1908-1999), who did not marry; and Edward Stow Willard Worsdell (1915-1998).

Florence Emily Stow's mother Marian (Waters) Stow was the sister of Emily Waters Willard (1857-), the wife of actor Edward Smith Willard (1853-1915). Willard was a close friend of Henry Munroe Rogers and Clara Kathleen Rogers of Boston, which led to a friendship between the Rogers family and Willard's niece.
