Florence Welch siblings: Meet Grace Welch, J.J. Welch
Florence Welch has two siblings, Grace Welch and J.J Welch. In as much as there isn’t much information about her siblings on social media, her sister Grace inspired Welch’s song by the same name.
Welch is the granddaughter of Colin Welch (James Colin Ross Welch), a former deputy editor of The Daily Telegraph and a former Daily Mail parliamentary sketchwriter who was originally from Cambridgeshire.
Welch is related to satirist Craig Brown through Brown’s wife and Welch’s aunt, Frances Welch. John Stockwell, an actor and filmmaker, is Welch’s maternal uncle. Grace, another sibling of hers, served as the model for Welch’s song of the same name.
