Good sleuthng Christine. I would say that the Winifred Annie O'Sullivan (also rendered as Sullivan) born 1890 is a very good candidate.
And to continue the speculation (always allowed if one says it is speculation!), there were a number of births registered to the name Sullivan, mother's maiden name also Sullivan in the Romford District (which includes East Ham) in the 1916-1918 period.

Could well be the circumstances Diana posited initially.

Fascinating - an unknown English relative perhaps!!.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,

Oh wow! Thanks Christine. Didn't think of misspelling but know it did happen. Very interesting, many family secrets I'm finding on this side of the family!

When I was researching a friend's family (O'Reilly) I found that it was quite commonplace to render the surname without the O' prefix ;D

So, it's not a misspelling; simply the ways Irish people did things?

Yes I guess the O' might confuse things easier to remove it.
