A Death certificate has popped up for Gertrude Ethel Ruby Bradstreet in Texas in 1967.   The death certificate mentions her father and mother's names with the spelling of Marion instead of Maryon.

I cannot find her on the 1940 Federal Census.

I wonder when she married Mr. Bradstreet and did he come after Mr. Pence or was there another inbetween

Mr Pence was personally handed a cheque for over $500,000 dollars by President Truman in 1940 for royalties for the bombs in WW1.   Wonder if he got some more for WW2.

It looks like her death was 1978 and she was a widow at the time of her death.

Could she be known as Peggy?  http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=bradstreet&GSiman=1&GScid=4330&GRid=63199544&  It's the same cemetery that's listed on her death certificate.

Peggy must be her, because she is listed on the SSDI as Peggy - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J57Z-MTT

A 1955 San Antonio city directory has Peggie Bradstreet, widow of A.P., residing at 135 Harrigan ct., apt. 4.

There are at least two passposrt applications for Albert BRADSTREET that include photos of both him and Ethel(or whatever name...).
She WAS very pretty-especially considering what a passport photo looks like!

Gertrude Ethel  Ruby's father was a naughty man - he wasn't a London Banker just an accountant and was in Wormswood Scrubs prison for 1891 census.    His wife Rosa and children were lodging somewhere.  He had quite a few charges against him.

How I am connected is a distant cousin of mine was his first wife.  Laura Ann Croyden,  then he married a Harriet Lydia Aston then she died in London and he married Rosa Antoinette Aston.  Have not found any family connection between the Harriet and Rosa yet.
