Thanks both, can't work out why they didn't come up for me before, they do now on a slightly different approach.

Hampstead is even closer than Willesden and is also conistent with Florence, as I've found a birth regn for a child in Hampstead 1915. I've replicated my searches for both death regns and they don't come up, which site did each of you use to find the 2 entries?

I missed that one somehow! My knowledge of the geography of Middlesex is poor, but google shows that the 2 locations are not that far apart,so it's a distinct possibility.

I'm hoping for some help to solve the mystery what happened to William Marson b 1857 and his wife Harriet b 1845. Both were born in Notts, but in 1901 and 1911 they are on the census at Souldrop, Beds. William is a horsekeeper on a farm. I can find no trace of them after 1911. I can't find any death regns in Beds for them. It's likely that their accommodation in Souldrop was tied to William's job, so they may have had to move when he retired. They had 2 daughters, Florence and Ada, and Harriet had a son John Bell born before she married. All 3 children ended up in Hendon, both John and Florence married there and Ada is there on the 1911 census with husband Walter East. Florence married after the 1911 census in Hendon, but was on that census in Hampstead, she married William Moore. All that said, I can't find any trace of deaths for William and Harriet in the Hendon area either. Marson is a surname that tends to get mis-spelt/mistranslated and for some reason I tend not to have much luck using wildcards. Can anyone else track them down?
