__________________________

In 1911 she was with her parents; see her sister Nellie for the listing.

It looks likely that she m. James F Whitehouse in Q4 of 1912 in Cannock.

No children found with a Whitehouse surname and a mother’s maiden name of Keight between 1912 and 1932.
__________________________

In 1939 she cannot be found (odd).

A Martha E Whitehouse, born in 1885, died in Cannock in 1950.  She had Administration granted to her brother, and was then a widow.  Sounds like she had no children.

William George was her eldest brother.  As it was an n administration there will be no will and thus no info to be gained from same.

  In 1939 her sister Nellie, née Keigh and her husband Albert Harold Eccleston and their mother Sarah Keight and Nellies dau. Eunice Peggy May Eccleston were living.
  In 1950 where she, Martha Elizabeth Whitehouse née Keight, died.

It may even be that Nellie Eccleston died there in 1857 as well.
