Although it won’t explain why you can’t find Florence in the 1939 if George signed up for WW11 at the earliest possible he could be in barracks and therefore not on the 1939

Is this the George you are assuming was Florence's husband?

Re the George Mathieson in 1891 and 1901 censuses above -
there's another George Mathieson:
George Mathieson
in the 1901 Scotland Census
Name: George Mathieson
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1887
Relationship: Son
Father's Name: Robert Mathieson
Mother's Name: Robina Mathieson
Gender: Male
Where born: Renfrew, renfrewsh
Registration Number: 564/1
Registration district: Greenock East
Civil parish: Greenock East
County: Renfrewshire
Address: 22 St Lawrence St
Occupation: Message Boy
ED: 32
Household schedule number: 47
Line: 14
Roll: CSSCT1901_194
Household Members (Name) Age Relationship
Robert Mathieson 45 Head - brass finisher
Robina Mathieson 42 Wife
George Mathieson 14 Son
Mary Mathieson 13 Daur (Daughter)
Jessie Mathieson 7 Daur (Daughter)
Walter Mathieson 2 Son
However, the one with mother Jane seems the more likely to be Florence's husband, as his father Robert was a painter and decorator too.
Also, that Robert's father was named Lawrence/Laurence, which could account for George & Florence's son Laurence Thomas's name.

The certificates arrived this morning. They confirm a) Florence's father as Thomas and that he was a stoker which matches, b) that the Barrett marriage was indeed Florence's second marriage, and c) that her middle name was clearly Mary (and not May) on both certificates.
Thank you, yet again, ArgyllGran, that gives me some further leads to follow up.
