Exactly what do you want to know???

You know how and where she died, presumably you know the date of her death.

Do you want the obituary?

Is the newspaper article that safc found sufficient??

There are 13 articles in British newspapers, one of which says she was deaf.

I found the newspapers on FindMyPast.

You can also google "elizabeth+issatt+1932"

One thing I did note from the articles was that it was not her grand-'daughter' in the pram as you state in your post above but her 16 month old grand'son' - Claude.

I thought we were looking at the Elizabeth who died in 1932 ??? Or am I getting totally confused here? - You are showing one who died 30 years later Shirley??

Some of the articles in the newspaper say she was 75 and I also saw her in at least one as 72 so this must be her death?

Deaths Sep 1932 (>99%)
Issatt Elizabeth 72 Doncaster 9c 687

I think your 1929 record above is probably the correct one.
