Just of interest what religion was Winifred if she followed one.?

Well....so could be her? So....from memories passed down to my mum from my Nan .... winifred was a dancer on stage (no more info) I have a picture and my uncle has a few more of her standing on a stage with dance shoes on and fancy dresses....my Nan says one day she went to an arcade (not sure what that was back then...a shopping centre?) And she saw a girl who looked just like her and she ran home and told her mum (winifred) and she apparently locked her in s cupboard so my Nan was convinced she had a sister but I think that may have been just a fantasy. Winifred could well have kept her stage name I guess that would make sense.

I find the Buckingham Palace thing so strange....my uncle is actually convinced she had an affair with royalty haha the telegram says she was 59 years old but there is a story passed down that she worked there when she was younger and accidentally walked in on long George playing piano...again could be false.

In later years my Nan says winifred cut her face from all her photos...and winifred was buried in a common grave and nobody attended her funeral

All very strange

I'm not sure about religion, my mum thinks my Gran went to a Catholic girls school but I have a photo of my Gran (winifreds daughter) at school and there was a boy in the picture so I don't think that's true

Did Winifred and Albert separate?
That could account for her not being involved with the funeral arrangements.

They are at different addresses in 1939 - assuming this is the correct Albert:

There may be more than one actress named Winifred Wynn.

As well as the things already posted, there's this, unfortunately without date of birth or other clues:
