Does anyone have information on this person

[Mabel Bagshawe]

We'll need a bit more info to help you - what time period was she around, where, was this her maiden or married name, what do you already know (to save us covering old ground), what gaps do yuo need filling etc.

I can see one person of this name end 19th/start 20th century, but this might not be the person you want

Just posting a name & no other info causes problems in determining the right person. 

Did she die 1949 Lewisham?  If so -she was 74 so born approx 1875

As there is no birth under that name she presumably married so what was her maiden name & who did she marry

Is she Nester Sumner on the 1939 register?

Hester Elizabeth Marsh/James Tucker Sumner

Have you looked for them on the 1911 & 1921 censuses?

I see you have some 2020 posts which you don't appear to have responded to - one mentions James Tucker Sumner

Hester Elizabeth Sumner nee Marsh. Yes she was married to James Tucker Sumner. She seems to have vanished in 1925.  There is a rumour she may have been in a mental institution. When James died Four children were put in an orphanage.

You can download a pdf copy of her death cert for £2.50 which will tell you where she died & who reported her death

Her birth was registered in the December qtr of 1874 so I think you need to look at the 1939 register entry I mentioned above
