Louise/ Louisa died in 1946:

I couldn't see Louisa on the 1939 register at the above address, but there is mention in the newspaper of a Mrs L Mason picking a strawberry from her garden at The Cobbles at the end of September 1945!

Interestingly, in 1939 these are the people living at The Cobbles- note that Dorothy L Mason has the same death registration as Louisa:

Henry S C Martin 14 Oct 1907 Male Private Chauffeur Married
