No Kimbrey have not gone out this far.  It seems as though Rose always lived within the Croydon area but I will have to go further afield.  Still puzzles me why no notice in BDM.  I wonder if she changed her name I have tried all the Harris and Cole deaths - both common names unfortunately.

Sorry Chris I have this Certificate.  One of the many useless ones I have. Rose was always known as Rose in Census return, Marriage Certificate, D A etc.  Never Mary.  Dad died c1916 and he was an Ag worker not Platelayer and she was not a Spinster!  I have assumed because of her mental state she did not remarry or emigrate  so will keep trying.  Just cannot undersand no mention of her in BDM records.    It does not help that my mother died in 1942 when I was 4 and my grandmother was never mentioned to me and I never saw grandad!   Families sure are weird.

Thanks anyway

Thanks for your reply Chris.  I have been in touch with Bethlem Royal Hospital and from the Bethlem Museum obtained copies of her hospital records from the Warlingham Hospital in 1920 and 30's  but after her husband divorced her in 1939 due to her mental state I have lost all trace of her.  Not even to be found in BDM Registry.  I have been searching for years and I wonder if it is possible that she was killed in the war and body never found.  I suppose that is possible.
Thanks anyway

Jane I did try Cane Hill and they came up with a Rose Cole but she was 72 when admitted in 1941 - my grandma would have been 52.  What I cannot understand is I cannot find her in any hospital but most puzzling is she does not appear on any BDM list. 
Thanks for suggestin anyway.

 I have checked out all the Rose Cole (nee Harris) in the replies, obtained certificates but to no avail.  Still not found my Rose born 25/9/1888 East Woodhay last heard of in Croydon 1939 when her husband divorced her because of her mental state - just disappeared!

I have the Death Certificate of Rose MARY Harris Female 53 years of 16 Devonshire Road
She was the daughter of Charles Harris he was a Railway platelayer my gt grandad was an Ag worker.  She had never been known as Rose  MARY Harris in all papers i e birth certificate, census and marriage certificates.  When in the Mental Hospital each occasion she is shown as Rose
Cole (nee Harris)
I have the above certificate and those of
Rose Cole of 84 Tavistock Place St Pancras died 9th January 1941
Rose Harris 1 Council Houses Bramshill 20th February 1957 widow of Charles Harris
7/5/1932 Rose Maude Cole marriage certificate (thought she might have remarried but due to her mental state I dont think  she would have done.)
One problem is I dont know if she would  reverted from her married name of Cole to her maiden name of Harris.
I have been looking about 15 years but will never give up hope!
Thanks everyone for help
