Harriet Elizabeth CARTER Waldegrave Street Nov 23 1886 Nov 25 1886 29 yrs

I cannot be 100% certain that this was the wife of Hon. Stanley Bayley Carter but it seems very likely.

Here is her will from the NGB website. It is notable that she makes no mention of her husband though indeed he survived her. Not a happy marriage it would seem.
