One false obituary. A woman who lived another forty-six years. A child hidden beneath four names.
When a 1952 death notice is discovered in the Loughhaven Gazette archive, probate genealogist Anna Harland finds an impossible contradiction. Agnes Mary Bell supposedly died peacefully at Harbour View—yet electoral records, a passport application and a verified certificate show that she remained alive until 1998.
The notice refers to a surviving child no birth register can identify and to a dormant fund now only weeks from passing away as unclaimed property. A school photograph circles one girl in a blue ribbon. Beneath the clipping, conservator Maya Singh uncovers the words the newspaper removed: Agnes Mary Bell, though not deceased.
With Daniel Harland and solicitor Frances Morrow, Anna follows the child through the names Keane, Bell, Gray and Ward; a missing birth return; a midnight departure; a Canadian family record; and a deed box hidden beneath the floor of a memorial room.
The evidence can restore a mother’s life and release an inheritance intended for the child she protected. But correction must not turn private family history into public property—or confuse the people who preserved the truth with those legally entitled to own it.
The Obituary for a Woman Still Living is a clean British inheritance mystery about identity, protection, stewardship and the difference between a record kept secret and a person who never existed. It is Book Fourteen of The Loughhaven Inheritance Mysteries and resolves its central case completely.
