Maud Ada Harding [married name] was born in 1861+/- in London. Her only daughter was the second wife of my GGGrandfather.

I can see her in 1901 [incorrect name transcription], got the divorce entry from her husband William Daniel Harding, etc., but cannot see her in 1911 nor her death.

Please can you help?

The nephews ring no bells.

I will try to see if she reverted to her maiden name but this seems unlikely since she is still using her married name of Harding in 1901 despite a very messy divorce!

Thank you so far. I think that the possible death isn't her - she and her only daughter were very close and I don't think it possible that she would have registered her mother's name incorrectly.

Is this your family in 1881

Doesn't seem to help the search for her in 1911, however!

Big yesses to all your suggestions. As you can see, a curious background but we know that it is all correct. :-)

Oooh, that looks like a positive! I'm afraid that I don't understand the 'Web' reference you've given and how do I find/source the actual Death Certificate please?

Do you mean the 1922 possible death posted by Erika?

You would have to buy a copy of the death cert from GRO website, using the reference numbers given in Erika's post.

sorry must have crossed paths, deleted the death record as it related to a child who was born and died in 1905

She's not with her daughter Dorothy in 1911 - Dorothy had remarried.

An Ancestry tree has Robert Hervey died 1904 in Switzerland.
Dorothy remarried. The tree shows her in Cornwall with family in 1911. Could Maud have ventured in that direction if they were as close as you say?

If Mother and daughter were close, could Maud also have died abroad whilst travelling?

a tree on ancestry has nothing for after 1901

Just because I came across it, though irrelevant to this search -

you said Dorothy was her only daughter - but could this have been another, who died in infancy??
