Just go to the search page here & type KELLET in the surname & you will see her in the list:

Managed to bring it up - that is seriously bad handwriting!!  She didn't leave much to her husband that I could tell and she left all her furniture etc to her friends - don't understand that! I was thinking that her husband may have been married before and older than her as there wasn't any children that I could find. I think she only married after her Mother died in 1912 as she was 47. Thanks for all your digging - you are a star!

That's because he deserted her a few years later:

KELLETT, David Joseph.
Deserted wife Harriette at Collingwood in 1918.
A bootmaker, 36-38 years old, his mother lived at Collingwood, his sister was Mrs. OHLSEN.
Harriette’s letter on file. 12 pages and photo.

Perhaps David married Harriet because he thought she had money  It is sad though. It wasn't a very lucky family  Have you got a link that I can go into to read about David deserting Harriet
