She married Frederick Percival Duckering 12 June 1928. Thereafter the entry in the 1932 street directory reads Mrs Duckering at 239. She last appears in the 1937 street directory at 291 and 293.

Content and structure area
Scope and content
This collection contains birth, marriage and death certificates of the Loxton and Ward families. It includes a photocopy of a photograph in which Walter Ernest Loxton, Hilda Annie Loxton, and Leslie George Loxton ( father of the donor ) appear. There is also a photocopy of a handwritten page listing names, dates of birth, marriage and death spanning 3 July 1876 - 7 January 1933, which is possibly the reverse of the photograph. A handwritten memo note providing similiar information is included, covering the same dates, but is not as extensive. The family have a connection with the Bird in Hand pub, Sydenham Road, Croydon and so there is a postcard of the pub and a copy of settlement relating to the same with an inventory of stock dated 1884.
