I can't see any marriages on BMD - you may have to send for her birth certificate. :(

I can't find a marriage either - however, I note on his birth (1891) and his death entries that his name is given as Claude Henry Willetts.

Hiya Phil

I think you are going to have to get Kathleens birth certificate to confirm her mothers name

Also I cant find Claude on the 1901 census either

are you still looking for the mother of Kathleen Willets?

The Phoebe Willetts mentioned above was my maternal grandmother. According to one of my aunts Claud fought in WW 1 but died from tuberculosis later and was buried with full military honours. He married his childhood sweetheart on his deathbed so she could get a widows pension.
There is no mention of any child. So I wonder if this is the same family. Phoebe married William Dunn and my mother Eileen was one of their 7 children.
