mainly to find who she was with  when sidney was born.not certain if she was married before but   she later married in 1918  a year before her death. i do wonder how she died.

So she married Arthur J Scarfe, Sep qtr 1918 Newton Abbot - is that right?

[avm228]

Death as Charlotte Annie Scarfe aged 31, Jun qtr 1919 Plymouth?

[avm228]

You could find out how she died by obtaining her death certificate (or pdf, currently £6 from GRO Online).

[paulmanning]

thats correct avm ,  not sure how she died

[rosie99]

Unless she died in an accident and it was recorded in the local paper then I would think the only way to find cause of death is by purchasing her death certificate.   Sidney's birth certificate should state whether she has more than one surname

Sydney Caleb Manning was baptised at Landscove on 19 July 1908, son of Charlotte Anne Manning, of Gullaford.
