Her death is on 1837 online for Apr to Jun 1921, ref Christchurch 2b 746.

But it is not in FindMyPast, the inheritor of 1837 online.

It is on GRO Online:

Name:                   Age at Death (in years):  
POWYS, PERCY MARIA      75  
GRO Reference: 1921  J Quarter in CHRISTCHURCH  Volume 02B  Page 746

Her probate is recorded clearly.

Ancestry confirms the 1837 online info and the index shows:

1921 > Q2-Apr-May-Jun > P

Name           Age  District       Vol  Page
Powys, Percy M  75  Christchurch   2B   746

Did the online index think she was Male?  No, it was my typing error, an apostrophe in front of the Powys, now corrected

Will notes for Percy Maria Powys
Her probate index:

POWYS Percy Maria of Bunsey House Cambridge-road Bournemouth spinster died 10 September 1921  Probate Winchester 29 October to William Horace Boscawen Somerset exquire and the reverend Edward Boscawen Aylmer Somerset clerk.  Effects £16810 15s. 4d.

Will to be ordered.

But the death date has to be wrong: definitely the registration has been entered for Q@ of 1921,  Sounds like some money needs spending.  I think the death cert needs purchasing.
