May She Rest In Peace.

Looks from the census record that she was the daughter of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, the Victorian pioneer Photographer associated with Whitby.

She was born and grew up there, but although the birth record, (Q1 1889) and 1901 Census age of 11 almost agree, she is recorded by her father on the 1911 Census as 19 and a half !

The most likely death record is for a "26" year old Zoe Sutcliffe in the nearby Ripon District of Yorkshire. If she was in an isolation hospital she may have been buried there rather than returned to her home town.

 

He didn't die until 1941 but here's where he is buried, which may be a family plot.

That's correct. Oddly she seemed to get younger as she got older ! Born 11.12 1888 according to baptism record but was born in 1893 at the time of her death. Her headstone suggests 11.12.1890. Very odd
