No briths can be found from 1919 to 1929 (when she would have been 46) with the surname of Goudge and mother’s maiden name of Legge. I conclude she dsp.

Will notes for Beatrice Mary Caroline Legge
Her probate index:
1970
Goudge Beatrice Mary Caroline of 44 Mill Rd Salisbury died 30 March 1970 Probate Winchester 11 August £24520.
Her will has been ordered, in the hope that she listed some relations.
But her sister Rhoda Stefanie survived her by 3 years and she may have left everything to her.
______________________
In her will, signed on 23rd May 1969 and with executors of Robert Bidewell Trethewy, solicitor and her sister Rhoda Stefanie Legge, she listed the following relatives:
1. Her sister Rhoda Stefanie Legge,
2. Her niece Angela Lewis,
3. Her nephew Chirstopher Legge
4. Her late husband’s niece Philippa Roberts,
5. Julian Lewis, the son of her niece Angela Lewis
6. Barbare Legge, the child of her nephew Christopher Legge,
7. Robert Legge the son of her nephew Christopher Legge
And, as I suspected, the residue of her estate went to her sister Rhoda Legge.
