As Agnes was the name of Richard's mother, so I would think Agnes M. b Q4 1910 was a strong possibility.

Have you tried looking for baptisms for them anywhere

What web-pages could I use (free ones) to look up baptisms?

That makes sense, because she died somewhere in Staffordshire (I found her probate yesterday)
and about daughter Agnes M. I guess she was called Agnes Mahala Douthwaite...  ;)

The probate names Agnes May Fraser a widow.

Familysearch & freereg are both free.  Baptisms in the early 1900's are limited though familysearch have some up to 1919 in Durham.

Your profile does not show where you are located so it is difficult to advise what records are available free in your area.  Ancestry (& FindMyPast in some areas) are available in UK libraries.  I understand that Ancestry is also available in some libraries abroad.  I am lucky, my library has both  ;D
