Thankyou to everyone for that..
That certainly is the right death too
Many thanks for answering

This is a birth in the correct area, but it is too speculative. You need the marriage certificate for name of father, to check him in 1911 census.

Births Sep 1910
FOSTER William H Runcorn 8a 203

This birth is in the area you mention.....BUT......................you need the marriage cert for factual info

Births Sep 1910 (>99%)
FOSTER William H Runcorn 8a 203

If the death is right, the odds are that the other Harkness info is correct...........her second name was the MMN

When you get the marriage cert, you'll know which of these is right
