Edith May Eltham was born in Wantage on 19 June 1908.

Unlikely, but mention it..
March qtr 1971 Oxford  6b 3074
Taylor, Edith May
born 19 June 1918

Same day/month. Year is ten out!

Probate for her, died 1 March
Of Hastings House, Iffley Turn
https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/Calendar?surname=taylor&yearOfDeath=1971&page=10#calendar

Thank you, that looks like her, same address as on Raymond's probate the year earlier.
So the 1959 marriage must be a completely different Raymond. But the other groom with that reference is the same name as one of his sons. Raymond 1959 married a lady also called Edith who had been married previously and who was born in 1920 and I think  died in 2001.

R Taylor is in the Oxford phone books, 1969-71, at number X Iffley Turn, after then another Taylor is listed there :)

Perhaps that wrong year of birth for Edith was a misreading of the info on the certificate by someone at the GRO when compiling the index? :-\

Thank you, the person at the address after 1971 was the eldest son who seems to have taken over the coal merchant business as well.

I agree, I think the death cert must have been misread as to year as the day and month are correct. There is an on line tree which shows 1971 as Edith's year of death but has no source quoted. The tree only has the daughter for the couple (as her name is shown, presumably deceased)  - no mention of the other two even as private.

Thank you all very much for your help, it looks like another loose end tidied up.
