Seeking help - looking for death of Grace Prosser nee Thomas b 1874, Bredgar, Kent.

Married Walter Ambrose Christmas Prosser 1901 in Stockbury, Kent, his was living in St Mark's Portsmouth, Soldier in the East Lancashire Fusiliers.

Had 3 daugthers b 1902/3/4 all born in uk. Have a photo of them all taken in Kilkenny County Cork around this time 1905/6.

Walter had two further daughters in 1908/1910 born in India to 2nd wife Jane Hefernen? from Tipperary, Ireland/Eire, a nurse/midwife.

I can't find Grace's death anywhere, story goes she died in India, Walter married the nurse, had they girls. Walter died in 1911 at sea aboard HMS REWA. Story goes further that first 3 daughters were put in orphanage in County Cork by 2nd wife on her return to Ireland/Eire. But I feel Grace may have died in Ireland/Eire first and then Walter married. And the first 3 girls never went to India.

Can anyone help me. Many Thanks.
