You can use this free site to check whether Edna and her husband had any children. Too recent to post here for privacy. The site will also show you whether there were other Robinson/Leigh marriages to discount some of the options.

There is one in Liverpool North 1949 which would look possible

Hi

Her death certificate will give her place of death. From there you can contact the local authority to check if they have her listed in any of the local cemeteries

They sometimes make a small charge for the search

Edna's married name was Edna Robinson

I know the year she was born and died but cannot find out where she is burried etc. I am also trying to trace family members etc.

I would appreciate any help with this topic greatly.
