Where else can I look for a death/burial record.

[MrG]

25 plus years I have been at this game and have never hit a brick wall like this one. My wife's much married Great Aunt Harriett Emily Bedford (aka Alexander, Brady and possibly Andrews) born 11/03/1893) seems to disappear from the records after the 1939 Register.

I have searched ERs, Deaths and Marriages (Ancestry, FindMyPast, Family Search, Free BMD and the GRO Indexes) with a whole range of Christian and surname variants.

Last spotted in Surbiton, and yes I have searched the cemetery records, I cant find anything post 1939. I would really like to "kill her off" so any ideas anyone?

Thanks

What was her name in 1939? Possibly buried with one of her husbands? did she have any children (if so might be buried with their father)? Have you tried searching for a death notice under her last-known name in case a place of burial is mentioned?

Was she married in 1939 - did she remarry after that?  Living alone or?

[Maiden Stone]

Is her name visible on 1939 Register? Entry for a deceased relative of mine is still redacted because he emigrated and died abroad.

Last spotted in Surbiton,

More details please - dates, address, surname at the time

Where was she in 1939

[Milliepede]

I can see a marriage to an Edward Taylor in 1917 Surrey - was that her?

When do the names Alexander, Brady & Andrews appear?

[rosie99]

Starting with the birth reg
Births June qtr 1893 
Bedford    Harriet Emily       
Northampton    3b   54

She is in Kingston, Surrey with her parents in 1911 (unmarried)
ADDED As mentioned by Millipede she married Edward Taylor in 1917 - Her father was Ellis Bedford

OK, This is a very complicated story so bear with me. The 1917 marriage to Taylor is not her. It is in fact her younger sister who stole her sisters identity so that she could marry without her fathers consent.
Harriet married Henry Wilson Alexander, a Canadian soldier< in 1917 and Richard Brady, a printer, in 1926.
Harriett had a whole string of legitimate and illegitimate children between 1915 and 1933 - the last with Alfred Charles Alexander who she is living with in 1939 but calling herself a widow named Brady.

All of this is locked down with certificates and DNA.

I attach an excerpt from the 1939 register copy - the address is 127 King Charles Rd Surbiton.

I have tried all surnames and varients of Harriett and Emily but no luck. I have also had Kingston RO search the ERS for me but they have found nothing post 1939 either.

Just to be clear I have her full history up until 1939, Its a DEATH I am missing
