It would appear that the son b 1938 could still be alive - no death showing up to 2021

Are you in touch with him?  I realise he was only 3yrs old when his mother died but he may know where she is buried

Thank you. Nobody has any awareness of where she is buried. Not with parents or sister. All local churches checked. Children were asked (when alive) but no awareness. It's a needle in a haystack but putting it out there, just in case...!

By churches do you parish records or graveyards?
It was 1941 she may not have a headstone.

Have you looked in the newspapers? Albeit it was wartime.
Halesworth Times, East Anglian Daily Times, coverage of these on BNA does not go up to 1941.
