Notes for Marguerite Thorold
m. (1) Maurice Gifford, (2), on 20 Apr 1920, George Raynor who d. 19 Feb 1941.

This looks like her birth on FreeBMD:

Surname   First name(s)      District   Vol  Page
Births Sep 1876   (>99%)
Thorold Marguerite Grantham 7a 470
_________________________________

In the 1901 census she was at Boothby Hall, Boothby, obviously inherited from her father.  Her husband was not there but she had a son Charles M E Gifford who was 2 and born at Boothby Pagnell.  She had ten servants living in the house.
_________________________________

FreeBMD shows the same four children as on the Wetherall pedigree:

Surname   First name(s)      District  Vol  Page
Births Mar 1899  
Gifford    Charles Maurice E Grantham 7a 465
Births Mar 1902  
Gifford    Diana Frederica    Grantham 7a 466a
Births Sep 1903  
Gifford    Joan             Grantham 7a 461
Births Jun 1906  
Gifford    Vera May          Grantham 7a 469

There are no more after 1906, which tends to confirm the FreeBMD death of their father Maurice in 1910.

Not her death index, with odd forename, as in 1939 the same woman was married to a printers foreman in Harrow and born in 1876:

None of the entries in the 1939 register look like her.

I wonder if she settled in South Africa?

On second thoughts, was this a second marriage:

First name(s) MARGUERITE L
Last name RAYNOR
Marriage quarter 2
Marriage year 1946

But it still does not lead to a death in 1958.
