A probate entry is to be found for her death in Ireland in 1961, dying 13 Mar 161, a spinster and admin to James Vincent Carroll Veterinary Surgeon.

Who is this James?

Was she in the 1939 Register in England?
__________________

Probably not her as a clear Delia M C Carroll married in 1927 in Woodstock, Oxon to a Thomas G Stockford.  Is she on the 1939 Register with that name?

Yes it was her as Stockford, widowed, born on 4 May 1900, which ties in with the above birth record.  FindMyPast adds a probable death record for 1980.  It has the exact same birth date so must be hers.
