Is 57 a typo? She was 53, would have been 62 now if she was still alive. But thank you very much for looking, I didn’t know when her death was actually registered.

She died in January, but otherwise yes, she would have been 54 that year. I’m going to be tentatively reaching out to biological family later through a mediator (not because of this, but if I did get positive responses I could ask later), but would still like to find some answers to various questions in case of no response etc.  I’m not necessarily going to see the grave, but it would be nice to know where it is, if indeed there is one…
I do appreciate all the replies :)

The entry on Ancestry for Julia that says Winchester makes no sense as underneath it states

Source Citation
Great Yarmouth; Great Yarmouth, England; Great Yarmouth Burial Registers

If you haven’t tried Great Yarmouth area cemeteries I’d try there.

That’s what I thought, I mean why would she be that far away? I emailed a local records office on Friday, anyway, they should respond soon ish.

Hi ShootingStar, I think Ancestry have made an error on the England and Scotland, Select Cemetery Registers, 1900 - 2016.  I think Julia was buried at Magdalen Cemetery, Gorleston, Norfolk.

I was curious to see if Julia may have been buried with a family member in Winchester, so I searched on Ancestry for anyone with the surname Snowling buried in Winchester.  I was surprised to find several people with that surname who died in Great Yarmouth were noted as buried in Winchester. Most of them were "No image, text only collection", but one entry had an original image of the register, everyone on the register (1995-2011) died in Great Yarmouth/Gorleston or nearby. 

The original image is for Magdalen Cemetery, GORLESTON, NORFOLK, but the transcription is Winchester.  There is also a Magdalen Cemetery in WINCHESTER.  I think there has been some mix up on the Ancestry transcription.
Robbins - Wolverhampton.
Spooner - Monmouthshire & Wolverhampton.
Warner & Loundes - Dudley/West Bromwich.
Dod(g)son - Heysham/Liverpool/Wolverhampton

Jool, that is fantastic, thanks from the bottom of my heart! No wonder I wasn’t getting anywhere with Winchester council! Must say that is a really odd error for them to make, though lol. I will take a look there soon ;D
