She is not with them in 1911.

There is a school admission record, 1.10.1900
St Matthias Infants School
Ethel Spencer
Date of birth 3.9.96
Parent Chas
Address 16 Gt Eastern Bldgs

So a slight difference in date of birth there.

Thank you, John.

Died 1988 dob 12 Sept 1896

There is a bit in the Cambridge Daily News, 19 Dec 1986. I don't have access, and the free text is a bit messed up
city's old folks Christmas celebrations, oldest resident 90 year old Ethel Brown
Worship (the Mayor?) there
Ethel with Santa? Photo?

Is that our Ethel?

Sorry about the multiple replies.... finger trouble.

I feel we (you) have nailed Ethel Brown and I am reasonable sure that Emma Gawthrop is her mother as she moved from the Spencers  to Histon.

Thank you all for looking ... some amazing finds.

I found the article in the Cambridge News.
Can't be too many ladies living in Cambridge in 1986 age 90.
