Looking for death of Edith May Taylor nee Eltham
« on: Sunday 28 June 20 11:19 BST (UK) »
Edith May Eltham was born in Wantage on 19 June 1908. She married Raymond Taylor in 1931 in Headington district. In 1939 Edith and Raymond were living in Oxford. There are two redacted entries on same schedule, which I believe are their first two children born 1932 and 1934. There is a further Taylor child with Eltham as mmn born in 1946, which I believe is theirs and would fit with Raymond being away during WW2.
Raymond died in 1970 in Oxford, but I haven't been able to find Edith's death.
I had assumed that if she died before Raymond it would be in Oxford, but if after she could have moved away, possibly to be with one her children. The 1946 child seems to have married and raised a family in Oxford, but I haven't definitely established what happened to the other two.
Then I found what might be a second marriage for Raymond in 1959, particularly because of the other bridegroom on the same page. If it is the same Raymond, either Edith May had died before 1959 or they divorced and she could have remarried.
Can anyone find Edith's death please ?

Probably need to check out his death or the possible second marriage to see if it was him.

That would say if he was a widower or divorced.

Did he leave a will that might have some clues.

Have you ruled out the Edith Mary Taylor who died in 1970 Bullingdon Oxfordshire age 63

May and Mary often get muddled up.

That was born 16 Oct 1907, so not her

The probate register says administration (with will), no mention of who took out administration. Does that mean the will was invalid if it was administration and not probate?

Have you checked out family trees that appear to have her on - private so can't view but if you contact them you might find they have something new.

Perhaps then it is Raymond's wife and some error was made? :-\
