You could add her name - in case anyone is searching for her.

You are better off though searching for her on trees here - and on Ancestry and other site - to see if you can make contact with family members that way.

Is this her death?

Deaths Dec 1918
Calvert Florence M 23 Hartlepool 10a 209

EDIT: - No, silly me - she is the wrong age, however, there are no other femal Calvert deaths in Hartlepool which could fit.

Can you give some more info please?

What sort of reply is that, Yvonne?

You don't give the woman's name when you ask for help, and then just say 'no it's not.
