The last public record that I have, so far, found her in is a 1931 electoral register for Colchester Essex, where she was with her husband.
I simply cannot find her death, though she could have survived to the age of 106 when the records stopped in 2006.

I had found that a Margaret penrose has married a Newman in 1973, very soon after Lionel’s death. I had tried to see if a recognisable death of Margaret might have resulted from this, but found nothering that seemed positive so gave up. But it appeas that she did marry Maxwell Herman Alexander Neumann (later Newman) and she was reported to have diee in 1989. Now to get some evidence for this:
The marriage is confirmed by its entry.
