If the above is correct for a first marriage, I can find no death in London for a Kate Gray between 1861 and 1877. But, extending her name, this might be her death:

Deaths Mar 1864
GRAY Kate Emily St Luke 1b [35]_[5_]
But I can find no marriage for Thos Gray and Kate or Kate Wing between 1840 and 1860.
