Edith Lillie Doble (Knott) - missing

[chandoble]

Good afternoon

I have placed this message in the Common Room simply because I don't know which County to address it to.

I am trying to find some details regarding Edith Lillie Doble (nee Knott).  She was born Abingdon, Berkshire in 1894.  Now I thought she died some time in the 1940s but I have been sent a new bit of information that said that Robert Doble (born June 1883) may have lost his wife Edith earlier than that. 

As Robert Doble was a Minister, I am not sure where he was in the 1940s if in fact Edith didn't die earlier.

Can anyone help me please?  I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me when this Edith may have died AND if Robert Doble may have married a Constance Harriet Pinney in 1940.

Thank you for your help

You could try 1837online for the marriage in 1940.  If it did take place you know that Edith had died, and so can work backwards on 1837online to find her death.

Yes, as suttontrust says, a Doble-Pinney marriage around 1940 would be very easy to check on 1837online.  If you find it, it would be fairly certain Edith had died earlier. 

I would imagine that Edith Doble is a sufficiently unusual name that an 1837online search for deaths during (say) 1925-1939 would turn up only a handful.  If any of them that are late 1930's are in the same district as the Doble-Pinney marriage, it's highly likely to be the right one.
