It looks as if it could be the equivalent value of a property. If you are ‘local’ to the area, can you access the historical ER? Perhaps you could look the address up on the 1985 entry and back-track to see who had been living with her.

If nothing else, if you are willing to purchase the DC, the informant might have been a family member.

Try Searching All Member Trees to see if anyone lists Glady's, Ernest or Glady's parents. If there is one, send a message asking if they are the same people & if they are related.

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be any Chaston/Clark births in England or Wales from 1949-1969

Although he is a lot older than her, could this be her husbands death?

Welcome to the boards, Linda

Are you sure about Dorothy's mother's maiden name?

This seems to be her birth reg
Births Mar 1920 (>99%)
Clark Dorothy W Woolmore Romford 4a 1414

If you're certain that her parents were Ernie & Dorothy, this might be their marriage if Dorothy used her middle name

Image shows that Ernest was married. There's a tick next to the M which the transcriber decided was a W.

There isn't a Clark/Woolmore birth for Alfred on freebmd. He could have been a Clark relative.
