Yes that's definitely the death - the M is May. I just hesitated to spend the £9 for a birth certificate that may not be the one I need. I have the marriage certificate and I have the 1911 census

I would think that if you have checked for a Winifred Florence Ellis on the 1911 census and a marriage or death, and cannot find her then the birth cert would be the next step but even if you get the birth cert it would still need more work to prove/disprove if its the correct one.

Plus do you have any death details depending when she died it may have her actual date of birth which may help

Edit; the birth you found is Merthyr Tydfil but barry is in registration district Cardiff

My husband's grandmother was married in Newport (Gwent) on 06/09/1930. She gave her age at marriage as 28 and her name as Winifred Florence Stoddart.

In 1911 census she is living in Christchurch in Newport, the adopted daughter of Martha Jane Stoddart. Her name is given as Winifred Florence Ellis, aged 8, born Barry Glam.

I have tried to find a birth record for her and the only one I come up with is is Q3 1902 - which fits with the marriage certificate and with the age at the 1911 census - registered Merthyr Tydfil 11a 832

I'd like to research her actual lineage as well as her adopted lineage (which I have been quite successful with). Before I get this birth certificate can anyone advise whether it is likely to be the correct one?
