Notes for Adeline Bertha Thomas
Here is her birth record on FreeBMD:
Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Births Mar 1879
Thomas Adeline Bertha Barnet 3a 182
However the 1881, 1891 and 1901 censuses all show her as born in Southgate Mx. And registered at Barnet? Barnet does not seem too far away.

_________________________
I can find no death on FreeBMD up to 1950 and which makes sense of her birth date.
Ancestry gives a death aged 63 of Q1 of 1946 reg at St Austell, Cornwall, vol 5c, p. 112 which looks plausible.
