Gwenn,
from your mention of Elsie Drew I assumed she was a sister to Winifred, however now I think not, please can you clarify ?

A quick search gives this likely Marriage for her from the PRs, also found within GlosBMD, but I cannot find any clear record for her birth/baptism on these two sites or FreeBMD ??

I see a clear family tie with Winifred's husband but apparently the girls have different fathers ?. Unfortunately it looks like her birth c1912 just evades the 1911 Census.

LATER CORRECTION !

Apologies for probably confusing you, clearly Elsie is Winifred's younger sister.

I now think the above Marriage Record transcript is in error, I suggest you request a check wrt Elsie's fathers' name, I think it should read Albert James not Robert James ?
It's a little odd her full name(Irene) is omitted from the Marriage Record but I do think this is her correct PRs.

Here is her Baptism Record from this site's PRs;

Another "lost" name come his wedding day...
So it does look like the sisters have indeed married brothers.

I cannot find either burials locally, did they move away, perhaps ??
