Name Elizabeth Jane GOATHAM Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 1 Nov 1869 Dover, Kent, England 
- GRO ref: Goatham, Elizabeth Jane q4 1869 Dover RD 2a 848; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Goodson.
Actual date from baptism register, and from 1939 register (assuming I have the right Elizabeth Jane Perkins), though shown in the latter as being in 1870.
Baptised 9 Oct 1870 St. James’ Church, Dover, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 15 Feb 2017)
Buried the same day as her brother Charles
Gender Female Residence From 1881 to 1889 2, Orchard Lane, Sittingbourne, Kent, England - This is where Elizabeth's family (i.e. Elizabeth with her parents and siblings) were living at the time of the 1881 census, and it is when here her son Walter was born in 1889.
Her parents, some siblings and her son were there in 1891, but she was married by then and had moved to Camberwell.
Occupation 1889 Domestic servant - When her son Walter was born
Residence 1891 22, Tustin Street, Camberwell, Peckham, London, England Residence 1894 35, Ormside Street, Old Kent Road, London, England - At the time she was informant for her sister Margaret's death
Residence 1901 4, Halsham Road, Camberwell, London, England - (no. 7 North Peckham)
With her husband and William Christie (another disinfector) - 40 yr old widower born Southwark and his 3 Camberwell born children (recorded as separate family)
Occupation 1911 Camberwell, London, England Shirts Machinist Residence 1939 61, Tustin Street, Camberwell, London, England - By herself in the household but a family of 3 also lived at the same address.
(Ref: RG101/0093K/014/7 Letter Code: )
Residence 1940 266, Ilderton Road, Camberwell, London, England - Living in the same house as her brother-in-law, Frederick Bolton, when he wrote his will in August 1940. Her sister and Frederick's wife, had died a few months before - possibly Elizabeth had moved in to help care for her, or to care for Frederick after her sister's death, if he wasn't very domesticated. Sharing a house, particularly with the extra issues of wartime, may simply have made sense.
Died Aft 1940 - Still living 24 Oct 1932 as granted admon for her husband then. After Harry's death she disappears from the electoral roll for Manor Grove, and I think she was the Elizabeth Jane who then lived at 61 Tustin Street. If so she was still alive in 1939, when the register was compiled. My only problem with the Tustin Street Elizabeth being this one is that she was described as an 'army pensioner'.
In 1940 when her brother in law wrote his will he made his main beneficiary a Mrs Elizabeth Perkins of the same address as him; I think it almost certain that was this Elizabeth.
The death in the index on FreeBMD which looks most likely to be hers is
GRO ref: Perkins, Elizabeth J q4 1948 aged 79 Surrey Mid.E. RD 5g 239; GRO online index shows middle name was Jane
(the Elizabeth J who died in Bromley RD in 1947 can be ruled out by her probate calendar entry; another who died in Surrey North RD, aged given as 90, in 1962 looks like a possibility; others appear too different in terms of age, and not close to where Elizabeth is known to have lived, although of course she could have moved some distance to live with a child in old age)

With Harry dying before 1911 the census of that year does not show how many children Elizabeth had had in her first marriage.
Whilst it seemed likely that Harry and Elizabeth had more children than these 3 well-spaced, who had been born and died between censuses, the BMD index of Christie births and deaths in Camberwell district shows no other children born after the marriage who could be theirs born before the 1901 census. In addition, checking the GRO online index for Christies with a mother's maiden name of Goatham (born anywhere in England or Wales) also finds no other children of Harry and Elizabeth.
