I've looked at Charles F Needham whose death is registered Bromley 1964 but I think this may just be a coincidence. I think this because a) He'd be 17 years younger than Fanny and b) there is a Charles F Needham in the 1939 register in Sevenoaks. He was born 1895 but is with an Edith Needham. Looking at his probate I think we can eliminate him as he lived in Sevenoaks but died in Orpington hospital. His executor was his daughter Brenda. She was born 1930, mother maiden name Weston. Charles F Needham married an Edith Weston in Sevenoaks in 1920. So unless Fanny/Frances died between 1915 and 1920 or they divorced, it can't be the same man.
