And I've finally found her in 1901 - at 10 Hadyn (not Haydn) Park Road, Hammersmith/Shepherd's Bush.

Thanks, everyone, for all your help. :)

Now off to consider whether I need to cough up for any of the certificates. Apart from causes of death I doubt they'll tell me anything much that is new.
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.

According to Findagrave she's buried at Acton Cemetery

A plot number search at Find a Grave reveals that this is a common grave with 14 other unrelated people. A photo on the memorial for one of them shows that it is unmarked. Sorry.

Thank you for that. As she had neither husband nor children at the time of her death, her brother Edmund had predeceased her in 1913, and as far as I know the rest of her relatives were in Northumberland, that doesn't surprise me.
