Title: Winifred Barnett, born 5/7/1901
Post by: Bertsbees on Friday 20 May 22 23:48 BST (UK)
We are trying to find info on Winifred Barnett, born May 7, 1901, died February 13, 1925.  We are trying to find her death certificate, and also where she worked towards the end of her life.  In 1924 she was living in Eccleston Sq, London.  Any info on her job would be truly appreciated.  We are unable to find her info from the 1921.   Thanks so much,  cheers Bert

What document shows her in Eccleston Sq in 1924?  How do you know she died in 1925?

All of the Winifred Barnett births in 1901 have middle names.  Was Barnett her birth surname or her married surname

If birth - what was her middle christian name & where was she born?

Was a domestic servant in 1921 but living with her Lansdell grandparents.  Easily found.

Winifred was born in Hampton Wick, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey …She was single , never married.   
   We know that she was in Eccleston Square living with another family in 1924.  We have a postcard mailed to her that year from Father( Winifred is my wife’s aunt).  We were interested to find out who she was working for while in Eccleston, London.  She was evidently living at 32 St George’s place. We assume that she was a servant, but not sure.
   Thanks for your help.
       We found out about her death date from a family bible.

If she was born on 7 May 1901, how come she was 72 on burial in 1925?

No, it's 22.  It's just the transcription that says 72.

Thanks to all who did some research for us …through the family oral history Winifred died from having a goiter.  When visiting Kingston a few years ago, we were unable to find her tombstone or tablet,  that part of the cemetery is very overgrown.  Cheers, Bert
