At her father’s death her husband was said to be serving in Egypt, possibly meaning she was still in England.
There were three births of Bridgwater children with a Wood mother from 1915 to 1922.

There is a 5th occupant of this house whose entry has been redacted. Any of their three children would hav been well over 100 now so I wonder who this was.
