Western Australia Death Index Transcription, shows Elizabeth Prudence died 1968, Plantagenet . The birth year is wrong , shows 1935. in fact she was born 1885 in Lucknow in India. Father mentioned is correct.Who Dorothy Gertrude is I have no idea. Waiting on Denmark Shire to respond to my email. As you can see Elizabeth shows on Electoral Roll , which is correct.

I have no idea what 'transcriptions' you are looking at.  Yes she was born in Lucknow, India and was known as Prudence on the census in England. 
She didn't die at Plantagent WA.  Her death was registered in the Registration District of Plantagent.

From
http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx

And very clear.  Why do you use online indexes from subscription only websites?  They have many errors and omissions

Death - and no mention of the year of her birth!!
ANDERSON    Elizabeth Prudence    83  years    
Father Lewis Mother Unknown
District Plantagenet    Reg#10    1968

I have posted the details which are on the HEADSTONES of the burials at Denmark. 

I doubt the Shire offices will be able to tell you more as their information would have been transcribed from the Cemetery Burial Register and possibly the Burial Orders Register.  I would suggest there has been some  confusion with the names by the funeral director.

The family constantly reversed their given names eg

Baptism
ANDERSON Arthur Roy
5 Apr 1906 St Mark, Marylebone Road  Parish Westminster
Father Arthur Harry and mother Prudence Elizabeth

I would appreciated an answer to the question....where are you sourcing your information?

I notice you've been logged in since my last post.

Just trying to help you.
