Dirac, Florence Hannah
Buried on:
27 December 1941
Recorded at:
Cambridge Cemetery (Cambridgeshire)
Daughter of Richard Holten and Mary Grace Holten (nee Uren), the Wife of Charles Adrien Ladislav Dirac and Mother of Reginald Charles Felix Dirac; Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac, who shared Nobel Prize in Physics 1933, and Marguerite Betty Beatrice Isabelle Teszler, nee Dirac; Sister of Archibald Richard Holten; Beatrice Ellen Holten; Frederick Thomas Holten; Mary Louise Holten and Victoria Grace Holten.
Charles Adrien Ladislas Dirac, was an immigrant from Saint-Maurice, Switzerland, who worked in Bristol as a French teacher. His wife Florence Hannah Dirac, née Holten, the daughter of a ship's captain, was born in Cornwall, England, and worked as a librarian at the Bristol Central Library.
Graham Farmelo mentions the circumstances of Florence's death as follows in his book: Florence stayed with Paul and Manci in Cambridge at the time of her death as Bristol was bombed heavily and she did not feel safe there any more. She moved into their house in October 1941 and helped with the housework as Manci's maid and cook had departed.
But she was homesick and soon tired of Manci's dominance. She wrote to her neighbours in Bristol: "I really am afraid I will be quite ill if I stay on. Manci imposes on me too much."
Flo had a fatal stroke four days before Christmas; Graham Farmelo mentions that the funeral took place two days after Christmas but he did not say where.
