I'm posting this message on behalf of my girlfriend:

Hi,
I'm looking for the death of my great grandmother, unfortunately my grandfather passed away a few years ago now and due to my parent's divorce I am no longer in contact with that side of the family,so am unable to ask them for information.

My great grandmother's name was Morwenna A Harris and she married Frank Thorne in 1915 in Stratton,Cornwall,I know when he passed away. She must have died after 1936 as this is when her last child was born.I've looked for death under her maiden and married name but it's not brought anything up, so any help would be greatly received.I would imagine that the death would be found in either Cornwall or Devon

Thanks
