Well heard from Shenley Parish church, My lady doesn't have a marked grave there. I will try and trace where the burial register for 1951.
I have emailed West Herts crematorium in case there is not trace at Shenley.
They email back saying it was not open until 1959.
Hope that may help someone .

Hi Cath
What a sad, sad story - poor Annie. I can see why you want to locate her - I would to.
It is certainly logical that those 'passing on' in Shenley hospital would be buried at the churchyard but it seems as though Annie may be the exception for some reason.
I think the nearest church to Shenley would be London Colney (built in 1826) or in the opposite direction and further away the small town of Borehamwood.
Another thought .... as the West Herts Crem at Garson did not open until 1959 I suspect the then nearest Crem would have been at Hendon which opened in 1923. If all else fails.....
Anyway I will keep my fingers crossed that the burial register for 1951 reveals where she is, bless her.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
Cheers
Maureen

Hi Cath
Didn't have any luck finding Shenley parish records I'm afraid. I keep promising myself a trip to HALs, so if you haven't found it by then I can have a look there.
I found quite an interesting book on the hospital itself. As far as these institutions went, it was a 'modern' and progressive hospital set in about 300 acres with a farm and 130 acres of garden. It opened in 1934 and housed 2000 residents. It was bombed twice during World War 2. It closed in 1998. I can remember there being many stories of residents who "escaped" and would wander around Shenley village in various states of undress. As with a lot of these places, it is now a large housing estate

Many thanks Jlo, for your kindness in trying to find Annie. I am waiting to get some more details and when they arrive I will try and access the Shenley hospital records. I have emailed London about the hospital records, I am trying to find out when she went into the hospital. The hospital records also may
tell me where she was laid to rest.
Thank you again

Found them, Shenley Parish Register held at Hertfordshire Archives & Local Studies
Reference: DP99/1/18
Register of burials
Creation dates: Feb 1939-Sep 1951
Does anyone know how much they charge for a check on a date given burial?
Thank you

Hi there
Does anyone know what happened to Shenley after it was a hospital? If it's the same place that I'm thinking of wasn't it a (private) club in the mid to late 1960's? I think my father was connected to it.
Many thanks
Lyndsey

I have now looked in the following place for a burial, but can't find her. Can anyone think of
any where else?
Shenley Church
Entree Church
Allum Lane Entree
Watford cemeteries
West Hert crem - St Albans
Hanwell - City of West Minster
Hendon cemetery
Edgwarebury cemetery
She is not buried in Cheshire or Derbyshire, where her family lived or/and her husband family lived.
Thank you

Another one to conside could be Frogmore church which has burials for this date. It is situated on Watling Street, not far from Harper Lane which leads to Shenley. I live 5 mins away and would gladly look for you if you can tell me a surname.
