London and Middlesex / Re: Unable to find death record for Alfred Edgar JEWSON

The Holborn Union had a workhouse at Mitcham, in Croydon RD.
So maybe a look at the London workhouse records on ancestry, see if there is anything for Alfred?

City Road workhouse
Admitted 2 February 1916
Alfred Jewson, Printer, C of E, born 1851. Says married.

Discharged, 5 February, as Edward Jewson, 65, to Mitcham

Mitcham workhouse
Admitted 5 February 1916

the 1916 death looks promising.

No sign of Florence or the mysterious S.M.B

Could Florence have been White, not Bowley?
Robert C (Charles) Bowley married Florence C (Charlotte) White in Wandsworth in 1911

Birth
BOWLEY, SHELIA  MONICA MARGARET    
Mother's Maiden Surname: WHITE

WW1 & pension records, etc., that I don't have, for Robert Charles Bowley, he died in 1916
I can see from pensions preview that his widow is Florence Bessent (or Bessant?)

CWGC says
Son of the late Henry William Bowley and Louisa Bowley; husband of the late Florence Bowley.
