Buy her birth cert......or her marriage cert

Her father's name - if known - will be on marriage cert

Both parents will be named on the birth cert.........assuming she was legitimate

Or look for possible parental marriage..............

I'm sure you know about freebmd.................

Why do you think the woman was born in Stratford on Avon?

I think you've got your wires crossed.......her birth is on freebmd.......find it.

Then see if you can find a possible marriage for the parents

This doesn't match the birth..........but perhaps she lied about her age.....................age at death is only 'as known'
