Checking her death and her birth and so far haven't had any luck. No-one seems to have any ides of when she died. She was born about 1914 but that was according to the Marriage Certificate. She had three sons before she married Eric Harrison but there wasn't a marriage. The sons were all brought up at Barnados. She seems to have been quite a character.
