Find Ancestors

Please could someone give me advice on how I would track a death?

I cannot find her at all.

I have had people that are also tracing her and have had no luck.

I know she was in Bromley Institution but I now believe it has been built over!

And I am thinking she died in there?????

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :-(

Weeden Ethel Harriet Bromley 2a __7

Was she married when she had your grandfather?

Jan

Yes I think that may be the wrong one!

Thank you for your help.

Yes she was.

But she did have a few boys that died and I think she may have had a boy Horace Weeden 1905 before married....
