Hi Elaine
Winifred and her sister Lilian may very possibly have lived until well after 1956 which is the cut-off date for the online records on SP.

The only way to find them if they died after this date would be to visit NRH in Edinburgh, Park Circus in Glasgow, have a researcher look for you or contact GROS directly and ask for copies of their deaths (I'm assuming here that they died in Scotland)

This marriage on SP looks like it may be one you are looking for:
1919 PRIDMORE JOHN EDWARD, TUDDONHAM WINIFRED H DUNOON /ARGYLL 510/01 0021

I found it by searching for any female T*d*nham* to try to cover any odd spelling variations - and the above record turned up! No sign of Lilian though.

Out of interest and given their mother's name, there is also a AMY CHARLOTTE TUDDENHAM married at CATHCART, RENFREW in 1904 - just wondered if there might be a connection. It is not a frequent surname.

Best wishes
Lesley
