Elsie Ann Richards the sixth of eight children to William Henry Richards (my Gr-Gr-Grandfather) and Annie Bowskill (my Gr-Gr-Grandmother). She was born 27 March 1897 in Scotter in the County of Lincoln. I've been able to trace birth and death references of all of her siblings but Elsie Ann's later life still remains elusive.
Elsie Ann married her first husband Fred Robinson Warren on 12 June 1919 in Scunthorpe but was widowed in the two years that followed. She married for a second time to Joe Kirkby Harrison on 18 June 1922 in the District of Glanford Brigg. Joe Harrison later died in Scunthorpe on 5 October 1931 aged 40 years.
Searches of both the marriage and death indexes after 1931 have resulted with no further trace of Elsie Ann Harrison. Being quite remote from any archives would anyone be willing to search Parish Registers (and or the indexes) to see if anything crops up.

have you thought that she might have died before 1931? Also she may have moved anywhere in the country if she survived her second marriage.
My own Harrisons, from Lincolnshire, moved about a bit. Firstly to Nottinghamshire and then to Yorkshire. I searched so long for my Grandmother's birth that I nearly thought I had imagined knowing her for 26 years.

You say you have searched the Marriage and Death records but where these the FreeBMD or the GRO records.
Freebmd is patchy after 1930 and the GRO search is by Surname by quarter which with Harrisons I know is a monumental task and so easy to become automatic abd miss things.
She seems to have gone through husbands rather quickly, do you know their occupations?
