The Elizabeth Hunter is a likely answer. Her husband, David Maxwell,was born 1932. She did use BETTE instead of Elizabeth. Would the death be listed in married name or maiden name? Married = Maxwell, Maiden = Galloway. I don't know where the hospital was, but not real close to Maidenhead (I was an American in London!!!) Does any of this help? I've e-mailed her brother but he is slow in responding. Many thanks for caring.

Hi again Deaths should be registered in the name they used, which may not be the married or maiden name just to confuse the issue but the vast majority would be in the married name for a lady unless they had divorced and changed their name back as some do these days The full index reference for the middle named Hunter one is as follows Name: Elizabeth Hunter Maxwell Birth Date: 3 Sep 1933 Death Registration Month/Year: Oct 1997 Age at death (estimated): 64 Registration district: Hammersmith Inferred County: London Register number: 6B District and Subdistrict: 2311B Entry number: 70 I have just checked for a MAXWELL mariage to an Elizabeth GALLOWAY on scotlandspeoples index, there is just one in 1955 I then tried added the Hunter and bingo So I think you can safely say the above should be your lady You can order online here http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ Register first and look for the tick box "with GRO reference" (or words to that effect) Its good you know the date of death as that may be required on so recent an event Checking her birth should find the birthdate if you need to Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > The Elizabeth Hunter is a likely answer.
