I could not see obvious records for her in 1891, there is an Elizabeth Smith in the Death records for Newport Pagnell District in the mid 1880s of about the right age. That is probably a little early for Wright to have direct overlap.

I must confess a little disappointment that there wasn’t more info but I guess Prince Albert wasn’t to know I’d be searching a hundred and sixty odd years later! Now I wonder where Thomas Wright got the information for his book - maybe from a local Olney source.
