Title: Eveline Marjory Challis born 13 Oct 1901 Stepney, London
Post by: Cockneyrebel on Thursday 06 November 25 14:14 GMT (UK)
The above was the only daughter of Walter Page Challis 1866-1950 and Margaret Sarah Wilson 1872-1950. At 1939 she was living at Paddington, London, 313-319, 1-3 Harrow Road, Woodfield Road.
After the deaths of her parents she appears to have emigrated to the USA but did a lot of travelling between the USA and England and at 28 Sep 1961 she was living at 1011 7th St, North, St Petersburg, Florida when she arrived from England. After that she disappears from sight. A family tree on Anc has her dying in 1975 at Sutton, Surrey, but that lady was married.

There is an Eveline Marjory Challis Cowen in English probate records who died 6 July 1985.

If that's her, this may be her husband who died in 1977.  https://www.newspapers.com/article/marylebone-and-paddington-mercury-obitua/184422799/

The England death index has Eveline Marjory C Cowen born 13 Oct. 1901 and died July 1985, so that seems to fit.
