I can't read all of this, maybe someone else can.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD

......Infirmary on Friday Dr. F. H. Gslpin, the city coroner, held an inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of Richard Walter Seward, aged 3 Years. who died through being run over by a coal trolley. George Frederick Seward, a private in R.A.F., stationed in Scotland, and residing at 4, Agues Street, St. Thomas', identified the body as that of his son.

Sheffield connection.

In 1911 two of her sisters Kate Constance b 1871 and Edith Ellen b 1879 are both married and living in Sheffield

Could this be her in 1911?

That would be a bit odd. Olive Mary has an existence of her own - clearly to be found in 1901, 1911 and marrying in 1919

[Dundee]

She was Olive Muriel, not Olive Mary.

Someone suggested she was the Olive Mary b Fareham 1895

Someone suggested she was the Olive Mary b Fareham 1895

But this is incorrect - in 1911 'Olive' states bc.1890 Oxfordshire and, like marriage, is Olive Muriel.

I still think Olive and Alice are one and the same although can't explain why Alice would adopt such a fanciful name.   GF's first son baptised with mothers name as Alice not Olive, but she's Olive on 1911 census.  GF's second son born 1915 (died 1918) is shown with mmn Prior, so Alice definitely around then.   Yet GF's RAF record in 1918 shows wife as Olive.  Between 1910 and 1918 there is a crossover in names between the 2 (?) women.   Since no trace of an Olive Muriel (Swinstead) before 1909 marriage, and no trace after for her (aside from shown as spouse in RAF record 1918) am sure they are in fact the same person.

Thanks I'll do that later and let you know what I find

I've recently got a subscription to FindMyPast. Is there anything I should be looking for on there?

I know that Alice Amelia SEWARD is in or around Oxford/Woodstock in 1941.
There is a declaration by an A Seward (which I assume is her) on her sister's death certificate.
It states that her mother was in actual fact not married when she had claimed to be!
Compulsive liars/crooks.
Am I allowed to post the certificate here?
