Hello People. I'm trying to find a death record of Elizabeth May Harris B28/11/1909 Dowlais, Merthyr Tydfil. Daughter of Edward Rees Harris and Edith May Harris (nee Scully).
She married John Thomas "George" Walters (known as George). They married in 1931.
John Thomas George Walters died 1965 in Hengoed. They had two children Maureen and Roy Walters. It is suggested on Ancestry that she died in 2007 at Milbrook Residential Home in Caerphilly which would make her 98yo. However, I can't find a record of that on GRO UK .
Perhaps she remarried - I don't know.
Any ideas?? Regards Elaine (Australia)

Are you sure that the children have died as they are blacked out in 1939
-
Looks like them in Bargoed in 1939.

GRO online allows a search for deaths to 2023. Ancestry transcriptions only cover to 2007

Quote "Perhaps she remarried - I don't know. "
If you look at the family tree you mentioned it does state another spouse ???

It was on the file of Grant & Wills on F M P. I then checked on the GRO site and found the d of b.
There was another one with May as the middle name.
I was called away so will have to go in and check again

There is also a death in case the 1986 marriage is correct.
