Hi Hume,
Many thanks for this information. Yes, this is the lady in question so the mystery has been solved.
However, I am puzzled as to why she has not shown up in my previous searches of SP which covered the death date, age and location you found but was sensitive to SARA v SARAH within SP's field
"Forenames that begin with"
Thanks again.

Hi Geoff,

SP can be tricky at times. I used wildcards (i.e. Sara*) to make sure I was picking up all variants rather then relying on SP to offer variants etc.
