Looking for my great great aunt

[Saffy321]

I've managed to trace a lot of my family tree using scotlands people however I have a great great aunt who moved at some point after 1911 from Scotland to England, she was a matron at a London hospital probably during the second world war, and retired to a village in Essex before she died around 1998. I know she had a son but I've not been able to find her marriage certificate on Scotlands people or ancestry people therefore I don't know her married name and I've not been able to find a death notice either - could anyone tell me where else i could look?

Try FreeBMD. Search on marriage, put in the married surname and then her first name and maiden surname in the spouse details. Give an approximate time period to search eg 1920-1950 and see what happens. Don't narrow it down by specifying a place.

Try looking in the 1939 register. If she was living in London during the war she should be on there and if it was before she was married it will have her maiden name and married name written next to it. Also the nice thing with the 1939 register is you can search on day / month / year of birth if you have it which can massively narrow it down even if you don't have someone's full name.

Also recommend freebmd to find the marriage, you search using her name and you'll see the name of the person she married. Also, worth checking the 1921 census.
Her death certificate will be using her married name. Her's and/or her husband's death certificate may give the son's name if he reported the death.
Do you know which hospital she worked in, or even the area of London?

What is her name, if she was a matron in London something might show up, I am happy to look
