Mabel Hannah STEPHENS was born 20 Feb 1903 and died in October 2003 in Birmingham aged 100.
I am curious as to whether there might have been a newspaper entry or is attaining 100 years relatively commonplace?
Would she have received a card from the Queen?
Might there be a death notice?
Where might she be buried? I do not have her death certificate therefore no address.
Grateful for any advice as to where to search for information.
Thanks
Dale

Yes sadly just a few months short of her 100th birthday , and yes she would have got a Card from the Queen , and no doubt a mention in the local newspaper also
