Thank you CaroleW, makes sense and helps a lot.

I think Frederick died 1956 in Gloucestershire.  There is an Edith M Thomas marriage 1964 in Gloucestershire to Bertie S Thorn.   There is an Edith Mabel Thorn death in Essex but birth details do not match

There is a Bertie Samuel Thorn death 1983 Bristol - he was b 1901

You could be right CaroleW but there appears to be no death record for Edith?

The 1964 marriage cert would show whether it was the right Edith M Thomas so you would then know for certain that she remarried

Unfortunately nothing on the probate website for either Bertie or Edith

A big IF - but if either of the daughters emigrated she may have joined them.  If she did re-marry then she would have been in her 80’s when Bertie died

Unfortunately, CaroleW, Edith is a very distant relation and I can't afford to splash out on certificates for her; just have to hope that someone else reads our posts and knows more.
Thank you for your research and thoughts.

Thank you jonw65, every little bit helps but the plot thickens as to her whereabouts after 1939?
