Notes - When Alice Matilda died her death was registered by E A Harrold, daughter.
Eventually found her as Ellen A Cooke marrying John Harrold in 1934
Certainly in 1929 she is Ellen Annie (Electoral Register)
Decided to look for death of suitable person to try and find Christian names.
Searched 1947 - 2004 with inconclusive results.
I have not been able to find a suitable birth entry anywhere.
In March 2012 I was contacted by Derek Stokes who was able to fill in a few more details:
Apparently Ellen and her husband John (Jack) emigrated to Canada and she died there in 1990.
- When Alice Matilda died her death was registered by E A Harrold, daughter.
