This was confirmed by the entry in the probate index where the executors were her two spinster daughters. It is not yet known whether her son had any children.
_________________
In 1911 she said she had had 3 children, all living.
No more births found after 1911 for a Tudor with mother’s maiden name and born around Suffolk. But there was one in Wareham, Dorset.
___________________
In the 1939 Register she was living in Aldeburgh, Suffolk and had her son Henry Lea Tudor visiting her, on leave from HSBC. She gave her birth as 20 Jun 1874. There was apparently a redacted youngster in the same house.
___________________
On her probate there were two executors Mary margaret Tudor and Helen Eva Tudor, both spinsters. The first was her daughter, but the second I cannot identify. It looks like I must get a copy of her will.

Will notes for Eva Gertrude Josephine Edwards
Her Probate index:
TUDOR dame Eva Gertrude Josephine of 20 Northgate Street Bury St Edmunds married woman died 23 July 1958 Probate Ipswich 9 October to Mary Margaret Tudor and Helen Eva Tudor spinsters. Effects £2017 18s 4d.
________________
Mary Margaret Tudor was her daughter who died in 1994.
Helen Eva Tudor is currently unknown; might she have been Eva’s son John’s daughter? No, on her death in 2006 she was recorded as born on 21 Oct 1913. I now guess she was a third daughter of Eva’s. Curiously, I have now found a birth of a helen E Tudor with a mother’s maiden name of Tudor.
