Have you checked to see if anyone has her in their tree?
Also, if you live in the area you might try looking for notices in local papers. These should be available in the nearest archives centre for the area.
If that fails, might it help if you got the death cert to see who registered it?

Just to add, if she was born Nellie Eliza Dimond then there seems to be one child to the marriage.
You do not say how much you know about her?

Hi sorry i do know she had a daughter Audrey who sadly passed in October last year. Unfortunately Audreys children didnt know if their grandmother Nellie was buried or cremated & we are trying to find out as they would like to put her ashes with her. I hope this is ok to post. Thank you for your help so far.

If you know where Nellie died, you could contact the local council to ask if they can tell you where she is buried.

The local council is very good with burial/cremation records

I was looking for a family connection in Canada whose father was a home child to Canada and was connected to my dads family

His grandma was buried in an unmarked grave in a Rochester Kent Cemetery and by giving Medway Council Parks and Cemeteries dept a ring they were able to give me her burial date and the Row and Plot nos and even marked it out for me to go and view to take photos ,which I did and I passed it on to her grandson .

Sadly his dad had passed away years before not knowing where his mum and siblings were .other than a sister he was able to meet up with in Canada as she too was a home child sent after he was .

SO give the Medway Council a ring
