If memory serves the double quotes indicate 1890's.
& the name Marion & Co. was used prior to the date coding in 1880.
 when they used Marion Imp. Paris.

Library of Scotland has a comprehensive series of maps
dating back to the 1840's in some cases:

Zoom in on the place you want to look at & click on the square it's in, this
will give you a selection of maps going back in time.

I think you need her death cert.

You may need to look at the 1921 census & find out
where his father was living.
As his NOK he would have had the responsibility of arranging
his burial.

Information given on a death cert. is only as good
as what the informant knows about the deceased.
The death index gives her age as 29 which is correct.
What was her address at the time ?

The 2nd. Western Gen. Hosp. was split into smaller sections all over Manchester.
It might be safe to say that all influenza patients were housed together.
Her death cert. will tell you her address at the time & one might assume again
it would be one the annexes.
she might have been buried in that area.
You won't know until you get it.

24Oct1938  St, Finbarrs, Cemetry, Cork, Cork, Ireland.
Just checked the Municipal records for this cemetery but she's not there
although the images are quite difficult to read.
Feel free if anyone wants to take a look:

You need to go the the end around p. 170.

Thanks, but this Gertrude Giltinan was aged 89 when she died, so wouldn't have been active in WW1
Her death registration says she was 29 which is the correct age.
I would suggest she was buried in Ireland possibly Cork as that's where here family were.
The link haliared put up has her aged 38 which is also incorrect.
