England / The mysterious Mrs H Willson.

Mrs H Willson (with two ells?) and her connection with my family has puzzled me for many years.
She was present at my Grandmother’s funeral in Liverpool in 1936 and was near the top of the list of mourners, which suggests that she was a relative or a close friend. I have been told that she was married to a man who worked in the War Office, presumably Mr H Willson. They are said to have lived in Westminster Bridge Road, London; number 49 I think. When my Uncle from Liverpool was camping with the Scouts, somewhere in the south east probably in the 1920s, she came to their camp and distributed sweets.
She obviously has some connection with our family and may be related through the Macphersons, Balfes or Carbises.
I would be very grateful for suggestions as to how I should tackle identifying her with the scant detail that I have or, possibly, someone may know of her.
