Said to be married in both the census and on DC, but I can't find her marriage in Ireland nor E&W.

There was a marriage of a spinster by that name in 1896 aged 22 (so also born abt.1874).

Finding his Service number hasn't helped at all,unable to find anything else about John Campbell. Would there be a newspaper report regarding the inquest?

I have not been very successful following Georges clues, but I think he must be right and the death cert should say Wife of Private 901 Area...

Been looking.. trying to trace possible sister

The Catherine in Anglesborough in 1911 appears to have been born 15/9/1878 (transcribed record on ancestry).  So she was actually 32 at the census not 34. Father Denis, mother Margaret - mother nee Hogan. Does not get us very far.
