Looking for more information on my maternal greatgrandmother.

My understanding is that she was probably named Deborah Kate Matthews - although 'Kate' seems to be what she was called by most people.

In 1905 she married Charles (Emmanuel) Brookes. When he died around 1911 she probably remarried at least twice before she became known as Kate Whitehouse.

She had three maybe four children: Albert Brookes, Ted Millworth(?), and Florence.

She died around 1962 having lived in Birmingham all her life.
