You may have trouble tracing Beatrice back.
Cant find a Birth Reg for her with those names and in last Census Alfred Smeathers is with his Grandma Emily BEAUMONT, Widow, born c 1851 Luton (Beds I presume)
There is a Beatrice Sarah DEVEREUX Birth Reg 1883 Luton

Hi Irene

There is an online tree that has Beatrice's parents as Alfred George Devereux  (1837-1884) and Emily Martha Shane (1861-1929)

You should be able to get it via Mundia

Alfred and Emily (as Emma) are in Luton in 1881 - RG11/1650/71/29

At the time of Matilda's death she was living in Sheep Street and buried
at Wellingborough All Hallows on Mar 26 1888 aged 48.

There are not many stones that survive for this Church.

Same here for 1891, Trish.

Emily - a widow -  (wrongly indexed as Deverell)  is with  Beaumont offspring in 1901 - RG13/1426/149/25

Added - 1891 - RG12/765/101/34

No Beatrice, though!

Added - again - not sure why this is in Durham
