What is your interest in her?  Was Tchertkoff her married or maiden name? 

What research have you already carried out into her background?

Have you contacted Hampshire Council for info re: burial?

have you checked www.findagrave.com

Not many instances of that surname on BMD - there is a marriage in Christchurch 1913

Tchertkoff Vladimir V - most likely related to Elizabeth

This person is in Hampshire directories and 1920 at Tuckton House Tuckton Bournemouth which might give a clue as to area Elizabeth was living?
