The 1901 Census finds her living at age "15" with her parents in Groton.

She married Henry J.M. Smith in London in 1914 [Marriage Index: Kensington 1a 304, 1914 (March)]. He may have been the Henry James M. Smith whose birth reference is [Birth Index: Camberwell 1d 789, 1887 (Sept)].

Her nephew John Ernest George (1) Hogger met her once in the early 1920s during a holiday comprising family visits to London and Suffolk; he recalled only that she was married to a jeweller, had one son older than himself and lived in a long street somewhere in London having iron railings outside the front garden [SW].

Nothing more is currently known of her.
