Ancestry only has parish records for marriages to 1921 so the full cert won't show on there

If you know her date of birth try looking for a death for and olive i using that info

Olive though remains elusive !!!

Maybe she was the informant on one of the death certs

Gee

Gee Report 16 Oct 2016 08:25

There are two probate records for both Herbert D (1954) & Jessica (1970)

You could either buy the death certificate(s) to check if the informant gives you any clues or you could order the probate (and Will, if there is one) using the link below.

If there is a Will for either of them, it might mention Olive Irene.

Olive looks as if she passed after 2008 as she is on the electoral roll till then in Woodbridge Green Essex with son Anthony

Woodford green comes under Redbridge reg district

Anthony is still at the same address to 2014 if you are wanting to make contact
