DET I'm assuming you don't know what the 'D' stands for? I can see it doesn't say the middle name on the reg for birth or marriage... might it be on the birth cert for the daughter though? which would help with the death, there's

Name: Irene Daisy Thompson
Birth Date: 15 Apr 1916
Date of Registration: Mar 1978
Age at Death: 61
Registration District: Winchester
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 20
Page: 2017

OR

Name: Irene Doris Thompson
Birth Date: 3 Mar 1916
Date of Registration: Dec 2001
Age at Death: 85
Registration District: Bedford
Inferred County: Bedfordshire
Register Number: B6D
District and Subdistrict: 3091B
Entry number: 66

this may be Walter?? if so no deaths for irene in the same area I don't think

Name: Walter W Thompson
Birth Date: abt 1911
Date of Registration: Mar 1963
Age at Death: 52
Registration District: essex South Western
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 5a
Page: 329

Thank you Rose.

The death for Walter looks promising.

Daisy is used within the Hopping family, but then Doris did become popular in the Edmonton area around the time of her birth!

Thank you for looking

Hi DET yes looking at a tree on Ancestry ( probably yours lol) it has a sister Daisy to Ernest, so that could be the death with Daisy as middle name, if you can see where daughter lived/ married it might suggest that she lived where death of her mum occured?

LOL - you're probably right about the tree ;-)

I'll have a look to see if I can find the daughter somewhere. When it comes to 'living' relatives that distant - the daughter is a third cousin - I don't normally go any further.

Thanks for being a sounding board :-)

Yes it does thank you Choccy.

I'd attached a 1924 ER to Ernest at the Colville Road address, so that does tie in with the Irene (Daisy as a middle name) Thompson death.

Emily Maud was Ernest's wife and Hilda May was another of his daughters.

Well done everyone, and thank you :-D
