Cas, I think you might have found her!

1921 in Farnham
Minnie is a cook her age is 30yrs 10mths which puts her birth as Aug 1889. Exactly right.

Could this Minnie be the one below

Sorry that was a typo. The probate I ordered related to a Minnie Cook who died 17 June 1967.

Your opening post says she was b 9.8.1889 Taunton which ties in with the Sept 1889 birth reg.

The tree on Ancestry has her birth as 8.9.1890 but shows her baptism as 8.9.1889 - baptised a year before birth 😂😂

Thank you Rosie, I can scrub the Farnham one off the list now.

Yes the online tree owner is quite distant which is why I am concerned over the death dates. I am only buying the probate to double check really and settle it one way or another. It will be worth £1.50 even if it’s not her.

I still have to check the Minnie travelling from Montreal, I’m not, sure how she could be a domestic servant in Westbury on Trym on the 1911 census and later that year return from Canada a nurse… unless, of course she is not the domestic servant in 1911.

But the 1921 free index says Minnie Cook in Farnham Rural was born Weston, Somerset?

Minnie Cook born 9 Aug 1889 in Axbridge

Though I don't know why Minnie didn't say she was born in Axbridge.
The 1889 PO Directory has a Thomas Cook, George inn, Market Place (Axbridge). Is that where Minnie was born?
