Florence Gertrude de Fonblanque

Florence Gertrude de Fonblanque (née Sparagnapane; 22 July 1864 – 2 January 1949) was a British suffragist.

Fonblanque was born in London to a family who owned the Sparagnapane Christmas cracker and confectionery business.

Their numbers swelled slowly - when they passed through Grantham in November there were twelve walkers including Fonblanque.

[8] Her sister Maud Arncliffe Sennett had assisted the march by organising a reception for the marchers when they arrived.

[1] Sennett was helped with the welcome by the National Political League started by Mary Adelaide Broadhurst and Margaret Milne Farquharson.

The month after the Edinburgh to London march Rosalie Gardiner Jones had organized the first American Suffrage Hike which left from The Bronx to Albany, New York.

She was buried in the churchyard of Holy Trinity Anglican church and she had "Originator and leader of the women's suffrage march from Edinburgh to London 1912" carved on her gravestone at her request.
