Death notice in Western Morning News on 28th November. Probate mentions Clara Emily Alice Matheson which matches her daughter born in 1877. 1981 census shows Alice as born in Plymouth, while 1911 census shows her as born in Chatham, Kent. It definitely is the same person, so I am presuming the latter is correct.
