On Ancestry .co a Gladys Shoesmith born 1924 died Keighley sep 1999 age 74 would this be her.
Although it could be her married name.

I remember Gladys very well as she used to live on my postal round up Harewood Road in the 1970's. She was a lovely lady who used to tell me stories of her accordian playing. Sadly towards the end I think she started suffering with dementia.

I don't recall her busking but I remember she told me that as a young girl she used to go and sit on a wall up Harewood Hill and play away much to the appreciation of the locals. As I say a lovely lady and good to talk to. She must have passed away in the 1980's.
