Do you actually have one of the birth certs? I agree, can't see a birth for her. It's an unusual name, just a few Sirrel/Sirells in the area so they might be related.
Maybe she was Scottish??

Had a look on Scotlandspeople - just to eliminate. There are only 2 Edith Walker births register between 1920 and 1930. One in 1921 with surname Brown and 1 in 1927 with surname Jamieson.

Who registered her death?

If you know both sons still alive do they know where mum was born ?

as far as I can gather the sons do not know anything about their mother
I suppose sending for her death certificate will give me the informant so that might give a clue as to who she was

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it Report 31 Mar 2011 10:19

wonder whether her mum was a Walker who later married Sirrell so she tagged the surname to hers

I,m wondering now re the birth posted for Edith Walker mmn Sedgefield reg district the same which seems a bit odd ??

Could be an error when registering OR mum was trying to cover she wasnt married
