I can find no marriage in Dundalk for an Irene to a King on https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ which might help with her age. OP knows marriage details plus home address at death [latter from admin] & is more seeking information about the circumstances of death - as others have said, the death certificate is a good start. MIght there have been a coroner's inquest?

#ADDED: The admin record states she was wife of George Synnott King. Would she also have had administration in Ireland?
Seeking: RC baptism Philip Murray Feb ish 1814 ? nr Chatham Kent.

what I didn't spot was the birth date, which came from Ancestry, citing Staffordshire BMD records. This shows 1862 as DoB. This suggest she was 96 when she died and 37 years older than her husband. I just checked FindMyPast for the same records, is shows the original entry with age=62, not born 1862!. Better fit, as this would mean born ~1896 and so 3 years older than her husband...

FindMyPast doesn't find a marriage record, but Ancestry does,
NameIrene Violet Kiviatkowski
Date of Registration1932, Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district
Dundalk, Ireland
Volume2
Page number441

thanks for looking for me,
Geoff

transcript of Probate.

KING Irene Violet of. 209 North Circular Road DublIn (wife
of George Synnott King) died 12 October 1958 in a
street in Stafford Administration London 15 March. to
the said George Synnott King salesman.

Effects £90 in England.

I've seen Synott spelt Synott / Synnot / Synnott - may be that's why the marriage record is hard to find ?

Apropos of not much, and others have probably worked this out - I think maiden surname is Kwiatowski not Kiviatowski
Births Mar 1896 
Kwiatkowski    Irene Violet        Chichester    2b   379
as well as the Irish birth entry for Hilda.
