Thought to have died when Ethel was about 10 years old. Possibly in
childbirth or of breast cancer. The death certificate shows that she
died age 40 in Kings College Hospital in London.
The death is registered in Strand, London. The cause of death is shown
as Puerperal Septicaemia, Phlegmania Dolens. Puerperal meaning "relating
to childbirth, the time from onset of labour to return to normal state".
The death certificate, issued on 24th October 1899, gives the informant
as John Woollett, widower of the deceased, of 4 Brighton Road, East Ham.

Notes
Note for: Albert Steven George Harris, 15 APR 1921 - ABT. 1942 Index
No formal notification confirming his death was ever received by the
family. He was just reported as missing, presumed killed.
He was in the Bedfordshire and Herts Regiment. A Sergeant Don Payne who
knew Albert visited the family and explained some of the circumstances of
his death, it appeared that he may have been taken prisoner and then
killed along with a large number of other men.
His brother Edwin tells of "being shot in the back" spiritually speaking
and being knocked to the ground at about the time that his brother was
killed. Edwin, who was in England, heard that his brother was missing
presumed killed about two weeks later and believes that he was, as it
were, hit by the same bullet.
