Elizabeth, what were the names of Gertrude's parents? We might be able to find her death in Australia if we know their names.

There is a Gertrude Kingston age 34 sailing from Melbourne to London on the "Albany" in Aug 1908 but she is down as a "wife" rather than "widow". I suppose it could be a mistake though.

I couldn't find any children for them born here.

Yes, he was a compositor. In 1891 he is with his mother's family in Plymouth as a Printer's Apprentice.

Gertrude's father was James Bramham.
He was a Mason in Brampton Bierlow in Yorkshire.

Thanks Merry and Kate for your help.

She's on the 1939 Register with someone who might be her sister:

lol That goes to show I should always look at the full record! As the dob didn't match with an online tree I decided that wasn't her. Had I looked at the other person though.....! I expect her dob on the tree is a baptism
