FRIENDS and neighbours of a nurse who died are being urged to come forward as her family hunt for her lost properties.

Betty (Elizabeth) Walsh, 76, is thought to have lived in a flat in Chiswick, which she may have owned or rented, but its whereabouts is a mystery.

She died in another house she owned in Southall in November, 2011, but her stays there were sporadic.

Her family said they are concerned that if they can not find Ms Walsh's home, bills may go unpaid causing heating to fail and pipes to freeze.

They are also worried the property may be seized and family mementoes lost.

An inquest into Ms Walsh's death was opened and adjourned at West London Coroner's Court in November.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Coroner's Officer Diane Whiting on 01895 2372.
