INDIA - Frances Mina Beatrice Thurston/Donlan/Thompson

[seasider53]

Evening all.  I am trying to track down the death of my Paternal Grt GrandMother Frances Mina Beatrice Thurston.  Her 1st marriage was to Frederick Donlan (often mis-transcribed as DOULAN) after Fredericks death she married Herbert Thompson.

My Dad remembers his Grand Mother in India. He was born 1937, the family left India in 1949 by which time Frances had died.  Interestingly she is shown on my Dads Baptism certificate as his God Mother.

Any help in tracking down her death would be appreciated.  Thank you

Was she ever known by a pet name ? There is a Bessie Thomson death in 1942 on Findmypast

 Family Search have her second marriage record,without an image,but believe it can be viewed at an LDS History Centre.

  Herbert James Thompson born 1887 age 34.
  Father Richard James Thompson.
  Marriage 30 March 1921 at Nagpur Bengal India,, to
  Frances Miana Beatrice Doulan age 35 Widowed.

  This shows yet another spelling variation of her middle name for Frances.

brionne Thank you for this.  So frustrating that I cannot locate her death

Have you thoroughly explored all the possible passenger lists for her whereabouts prior to the rest of the family returning to Uk in 1949.
What was her husbands occupation.Nagpur was a large railway junction.
Perhaps she remarried for a third time in India,or assumed another surname.
Suspect she could be buried in India under a different surname.
Sorry not much help but I have no paid for subs to search from at present.
Its not an easy task to find her death.
