This is the 1972 death, but the date of birth quoted is wrong for her birth, It could be the informant didn't know her exact year of birth. Only way to find out is to buy a copy of the cert. If it is the correct death, she never married..


Name:Gladys Mennell
Birth Date:7 Dec 1900
Date of Registration:Dec 1972
Age at Death:72

On the 1939 register it looks like she is still living with her parents, Arthur & Florence

The death certificate will not show her parents details, heres the info that you can expect to see:

•Name, date and place of death.
•Date and place of birth (before 1969 a certificate only showed age of deceased).
•Occupation and usual address.
•Cause of death.
•The person who gave information for the death registration.
