Death Index:

Name: Elizabeth Bridge
Birth Date: 19 Feb 1915
Date of Registration: Jul 1990
Age at Death: 75
Registration district: Tower Hamlets
Inferred County: London
Volume: 14 Page: 857

EDIT: The 1939 register gives a date of death- 4th July 1990

If you think the 1939 register is the correct person, I think you'll need the marriage certificate posted by Chris, to confirm Elizabeth's father's name. (Her children were registered with maiden name Petrie, confirming her Petrie maiden name)

Chris has discounted the Elizabeth Duthie Petrie, there's another that's Mary Elizabeth, so this one may be worth looking at to check if DOB matches the birth date given on death &1939 register:

1915 PETRIE ELIZABETH F STRACHAN /KINCARDINE 268/00 0006

You'll need credits to view the birth certificate at Scotandspeople
