I wasn't expecting this to be in Sussex. I don't think they have the equivalent of Lancs BMD which might have listed middle names. Trying to think of another way, other than buying a certificate.

The new online GRO death index includes 1947, so she is listed on there, and her middle name was Victoria.

How did you do that, Kate? I looked to search for it on the new index, but it only went up to 1911 so I must be looking in the wrong place.
