Jill Rosemary Webster
« on: Thursday 12 January 23 13:25 GMT (UK) »
Jill Rosemary Webster, born 8 June 1938, death registered in Weston-super-Mare 1981/Mar/22/1463.

Was she the widow of Major John Michael Cleland Webster, born 8 January 1929, probably in Ceylon, died 20 May 1967 in Taunton?

Does a 1981 English death certificate give the name of the deceased's spouse? I know earlier ones don't.

I've tried FreeBMD, FindMyPast, and the GRO (which doesn't - yet? - list death certificates in 1981). Also the newspapers on FindMyPast, the Times Digital Archive and the National Archives.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

There is a Jill R Eckley with that birth date who married a Webster in the 1960's.  She can be viewed on the 1939 register

One of John Michael Cleland Webster's 1967 executors was 'Jill Webster, widow'.

Ah, Thank you all.

The 1964 marriage is indexed on FreeCEN as Joan M C Webster not John M C Webster, which explains why I failed to find it.
