Looking for possible demise of my aunt Rosina BRANSCOMBE born c1900 as Rosina SICKEL in Surrey. She married Harry Nelson BRANSCOMBE also born Surrey whose recorded death is registered Upper Aggbrigg West Riding in the 1st qtr 1970. I have searched the 1837 online for BRANSCOMBE Deaths from 1940 to 1983 without finding Rosina. HELP. Thankyou.

The first thing I'd do would be to get her husband's death certificate. This will probably tell you whether he was a widower or not. This will at least narrow the search. If Harry left a will (not only the rich did that!) you might also get some clues.
It's also possible that Rosina remarried - try looking in the marriage indexes for the years after Harry's death.
Also, telephone directories for the period may list Rosina.
Good luck
Lesley
