Thanks Jomot. I guess my next step, along with a visit to Birmingham, is to get the marriage certificate to confirm whether it's her or not. I'll keep you posted.
There really should be a death certificate shouldn't there, if she died in the infirmary? I'll keep searching

Love Lynne

try asing Windsor Council about a burial based on the information in the newspaper. You can also phone them, a number is given once you start the online process.

Yes, fingers crossed the marriage certificate confirms that it's her & that the records in Birmingham also reveal something.

As well as the burial search suggested by dawnsh, it might be worth contacting Windsor Registrars to see if they hold a record of her death but it somehow didn't make it to the GRO:

Yes, I'll try that once I've received the marriage certificate.

Yes it really is isn't it? I thought I was quite good at this, given how long I've been doing it, but there is so much knowledge and expertise on here I feel like a real amateur.

Another possibility is that the coroner didn't register the death after the inquest - I've seen quite a few examples where that seems to be the case.

I wonder if the lack of record has anything to do with the fact that Clewer civil parish was abolished in 1894?

Perhaps it fell into an administrative “black hole”
Then again,I can’t say I can find an obvious death registration for her husband either.
