This is what I found on her ~ you probably have it already:
Name: Eva Kate Hulin Birth: Dec 1879 - Westbury On Severn, Glos Name: Eva K. Hulin Born c 1880 - East Dean, Gloucestershire 1881 living Westbury On Severn - East Dean, Gloucestershire Name: Eva Kate Hulin Birth: abt 1880 - 21 born Blakeney, Gloucestershire Living 1901 - Newport, Monmouthshire, Wales James George Jones 31 Amy Grace Jones 29 Allan Hulin Jones 6 months Eva Kate Hulin 21
As far as I can gather, Newport and Braunton were both ports on the Bristol Channel ~ linking Wales & the West Country, so it wouldn't be that unusual for people travel back & forth.

Hi
Yes it does appear that this address still exists, however there are no Lyons registered at the address in the local phone directory...although they could be ex directory.
This is a residential area, no knowledge of any nursing homes etc in this road.
As previous response, Braunton is a village (I think it's claim to fame is it's the largest village in England) between Ilfracombe and Barnstaple. Up until the 1970's (I think) there was a ferry from S.Wales to Ilfracombe and of course pre Beeching there was railway access. Movement between S.Wales and N.Devon has historically been a regular occurrence.
From the information given I would believe that you have the death certificate...you do not give the date of death...does it give any details for Irene, maybe it would be worth following her to see if there is a link.
Sorry cannot be of more help..I do research at Barnstaple Records Office but am unlikely to be able to get there in the next month or so...sorry.
PS I do not live in Braunton, but googled the address and came up on map.
