• Death Notes
  • There is no evidence that Ethel re-married.  There are two possible deaths (both discounted):
    
    Deaths Mar 1958   (>99%)
    WESTBY     Ethel M     60     Leicester     3a, 718
    
    Deaths Sep 1960   (>99%)
    WESTBY     Ethel     63     Sheffield     2d    105
    
    The death at Q1/1958 at Leicester is a perfect match on age, but with is for "Ethel M" and Ethel had no second christian name.  It seemed likely as her married son Arthur lived in Leicester.  However this is Ethel M Grant who married Clifford M Westby in 1920 at Leicester.
    
    The death of Ethel Westby Q3/1960 at Sheffield is also a perfect match, and daughter Edna Westby (born 4 Aug 1914) also died in 1992 at Sheffield.  However, this could also to Ethel Thorp who married Robert Westby in 1948 at Shaffield.
