I am searching for a Death record for May Ellen Grimshaw who was born in London on 7th October 1919. My previous post refers to her marriage to Reginald Kenneth Saunders in 1941 but the marriage ended after they applied to go to Australia .and her husband re married in 1950 and went to Australia with his new wife Barbara Edwards. I do not know if May Ellen re married so I have searched for a death using her birth date of 7th October 1919 without entering a surname and exploring those results . Her son was born in 1943 in Lewisham. Any help much appreciated Thank you Pam

Have you looked to see if she is an open record on the 1939 register

Not seeing a death as Saunders (or possibly Wall) in England / Wales to 2006 and no probate record post 2006 -2017 (not all deaths result in an estate which needs to go to probate)

192.com shows Harold and May in Bexhill on Sea - no date for Harold; 2002 ER for May.

There's also a May E Wall in Birmingham 2002-15 - but there are other May E Walls, so don't know if that's her or not.

If either of them has died just in the last few years, it may not show online yet.

From a Google search, it appears Harold was born in May 1916.

Thank you. It is possible that the Bexhill Hill on Sea is the right one as I found a male in Bexhill on electoral register with the same name as her son. Will explore this Pam
