There is a newspaper report from 1970, an inquest after Herbert Scragg died in a traffic accident...if I remember correctly...I was looking at it this morning but had to rush out. It mentioned son George and gave Herbert's age I think

Well, she was still married to William and only free to marry after he died in 1919
