Marriage and death will not be on a census.........and the most recent census available will not help you ; it's the 1930 one.

Unless you have some idea of who she married, I'm not sure how you would know which record (if any) was the correct one.........

You refer to her death.......any idea when it occurred? Or where?

How could her name be Rothwell, if her parents were Keelings?

That proves that there are no entries for her because she was in England until mid 1940's

There's a death of a Doreen Rothwell in Washington State Nov, 2002 but she was born 22 Jan 1920.

Researching:
Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)
