Eliza GOATHAM
Set As Default Person -
Name Eliza GOATHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Dec Q 1862 Sittingbourne, Kent, England
- GRO ref: Goatham, Eliza q4 1862 Milton RD 2a 613; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Mills
Gender Female Education 1871 Scholar Occupation 1881 Dressmaker Died 22 Mar 1906 32, Upper Milton Road, Gillingham, Kent, England
Cause: Cancer of Stomach, Secondary intracraniel Metastases - Found in the 1901 census so alive then, I can't find Eliza or her husband in 1911, although the latter appears to have not died until 1929.
I have also been unable to find Eliza in the 1939 register.
The only death I have found of an Eliza Woolley in Kent of anything close to the right age is the following (and the age is exactly right), looking at deaths on FreeBMD (phonetic search on Woolley), from 1901-1965:
GRO ref: WOOLLEY, Eliza q1 1906 aged 43 Medway RD 2a 468
Not only does this seem the only death registration likely to be this Eliza's, but also I cannot find another Eliza Woolley in Kent in 1901 whose burial this is likely to be.
Actual place of death from burial register.
