Thank you all

Her birthday was always celebrated on the 3 October my cousin has the marriage cert so I will get in contact with her for cert details .

With the marriage certificate he was always known as George not Edward as this was his fathers name also.

If the Houghton le Spring birth is correct then this would be her parents in the 1911 census:-

1911 census transcription details for: 7a Urwin Street Hetton-Le-Hole

National Archive Reference:
RG14PN30075 RG78PN1737 RD553 SD2 ED4 SN175
Reg. District: Houghton Le Spring
Sub District: Hetton Le Hole
Parish: Hetton Le Hole
Enum. District: 4

Address: 7a Urwin Street Hetton-Le-Hole
County: Durham

Name Relation Condition/
Yrs married Sex Age Birth Year Occupation Where Born

STOREY, Robert Head Married M 35 1876 Coal Miner Hewer Keller Durham
STOREY, Phoebe Wife Married F 18 1893 Hetton Durham
STOREY, Fred Son M 0 (4 MONTHS) 1911 Hetton Durham

The image gives Fred's name as Napper (not sure if this is his middle name or his surname - but I think middle name)

The couple have been married 6 months and have lost one child.

If you buy the marriage certificate of Phyllis Storey to your grandfather it should name Phyllis's father which would tell you if this family is the right one.

When someone registers a death they often get the year of birth wrong but usually get the day and month correct.

The Houghton le Spring birth could fit with the death but just one year out.

Presumably the person who registered the death was a family member who thought her birth date was 3 October 1915?
Only 67(possibly) at death.
Think you definitely need the marriage certificate.
