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.
