Trying To Trace Anybody Who Knew A Lily Dunkerley.

[Hopskotch 11]

I am currently working on my family tree and wondered if anybody knew a lady called Lily Ellis formerly Dunkerley, who passed away in 1963.

She lived on Channing Street and was married to my great grandfather Frank Ellis, who died in 1951.

 

I know it's a long shot, but any information would be gratefully received.
