Lydia Jane White who died in 1912 was age 64.  Ie born about 1848.
20 years too old to be yours.  And I know we say don’t get too tied up in the age of the person, but 20 years out is a bit much I think.   

I think yours is more likely to be the Lydia White  died 1914  age 44 Croydon 2a 403. March qtr.
Worth getting her death cert (the cheaper PDF version) to see who notified and where she was living.


The 1948:Frank death would have dob 1876.
1914 dob 1851
And from freebmd can see that the 1957 burial is likely to be age 80 so dob about 1877

So. I don’t favour any of them at all. Sorry.

Also, remember at Alice Lena’s marriage in 1916, she gives father as a dentist, deceased.

Have you made enquiries from that link I posted previously to see if he was on the dental register (I suspect he was not)

1911. Note address matches baptism of Violet Hilda

Maybe you should look for the burial records for St James Church.
