My first thought was, could her name have been Florence May Smith before she married a Harry Instone Noble, but I can't see a birth for a Harry Instone Noble.

Have you any idea roughly when she might have married or the names of children that you could work backwards from? Going by the dates, it seems like her death was registered as Florence May Noble. If the informant on the death certificate is a family member, it might give you a hint.
