Thank you so much. So it seems we are cousins three times removed (?). My understanding was that Kate died near Barnes in London as her and her husband Samuel Johnson had moved there. My father said he visited them there as a boy for holidays and he said he last saw her as a widow in 1943 when he was stationed in St. John's Wood before going to Rhodessia to do his pilot flight training in the RAF. I thought I'd found her death in FreeBMD that seemed to match her. I haven't subscribed to Ancestry yet so haven't delved further. I have joined Oxfordshire Family History and would like to go back to Woodstock to learn more about this fascinating side of the family.
