What to do on a rainy Bank Holiday?!

I am trying to find more details on Isabella Brown but am stuck where to go next.

Details gathered so far..

Married 16/5/1952 in Southampton Register Office aged 26 years to George Robert Farley. She died in the Dec quarter of the same year. From her marriage certificate I know her father was James Brown, a gamekeeper... and thats it!

I have contacted all the Genes members with an Isabella Brown in their tree born between 1925 - 1927 with no success so far.

Where should I go from here please?

Thank you for any pointers.
Happy Bank Holiday

Jenny

Hi ,
Have you tried the main library of the town where she died for old papers.Should think some intimations were publised.

The witnesses to the marriage were her new husband's sister and brother-in law.

No middle name

No details of her birthplace or mother

:( You see why I'm stuck!!
