Not really, it's after 1964 as that's when her husband John rea died. I know she had no children and they only married after 1960 as his first and second wife had died. He was 59 when he died

I can't see a funeral notice for her as Jean Rea. Did she remarry?

The neighbours and the following family members also inserted notices in the Telegraph on 11-7-1964:

his brother, Samuel Rea, and sister-in-law, Agnes, 27 Norwood Street

his nephew and niece, Joe and Gretta Reid

his daughter and son-in-law, Sally and David Hanna, 42 Kitchener Street
