There does appear to be a relative of John also in this grave,

Doris Spencer, Age 18 months, buried 4 Jan 1922.  Daughter of Alice Spencer, Abode: Recreation Mount.

The address on Johns Army papers in August 1914 is 8 Recreation Mount, Holbeck

Maria had a Doris in 1920 (Birth quarter 3, district Holbeck, mothers maiden name is Franklin) so maybe that's the same Doris who died in 1922? Not too sure where Alice fits in because I've no Alice Spencer's in my tree, maybe it's a typo? Maria Annie...Alice?

That's why I suspect it Doris born in 1920; same address, same name...not too sure who Alice is though!

Also, all of his children with the exception of William were born on Recreation Mount

It may be worth ordering a PDF copy of the death cert from GRO to see if there is any other info about Doris.
