Finding an Aunt

Looks to me like she died as Patricia Ann Mabel COWARD on 14 Jul 2008 in Llanelli, post code SA15. Probate 14 Aug 2008.

Marriage q3 1956 Wolverhampton 9b 2273 - Patricia A M FRANKLIN + Raymond G SMITH (not Reginald as previously reported)

? Marriage q4 1970 Wincanton 7c 1314 - Patricia J SMITH + Stephen M HILLIER ?
Apart from this 1970 marriage I cant see how her name changed from SMITH to HILLIER. Maybe there was yet another marriage!

Marriage q2 1929 Camberwell 1d 1430 - Harry FRANKLIN + Beatrice M L ROLL.
1939 register indicates that Beatrice changed her name to CLARKE but I cannot find a marriage

Possible siblings for Patricia
Robert H 1929 - died 1933?
Allan 1933 - maybe with grandmother Beatrice M ROLL in 1939
Ronald G 1940

This couple are together in 2005 at 12, Annesley Street, Llanelli, Dyfed, SA15 2PT. Their marriage ties in with opening post re location. So it would appear to rule out the below death.

A Patricia COWARD died in Newport district in 1998. Probate with Will. Date of birth 18 November 1931,

I am still confused as to why Beatrice is shown in the 1939 register as having changed her name from Franklin to CLARKE (in 1946?) but then gets buried as FRANKLIN.
In fact her death certificate seems to be done in both names.
Death q1 1971 Todmorden 2d 1473, Beatrice Marie L CLARKE born 8 Jan 1910
Death q1 1971 Todmorden 2d 1473, Beatrice Marie L FRANKLIN born 8 Jan 1910

I suppose getting a copy of the death certificate might explain it.

Then we have Patricia being married to Raymond SMITH, leaving or divorcing him and then getting married in Barnstaple as Patricia HILLIER to a man called COWARD. I suppose maybe she had got married in Scotland or perhaps just changed her name to HILLIER. The marriage certificate of her last marriage might explain.
