Looking for deaths of an Ellen where the age suggests a birth between 1870 and 1876 the above is the only Ellen Kent without a middle initial whose death was registered in Staffordshire, so it seems probable it was this Ellen. (I have not searched for other Ellen Kents who may have been born the same year).
No probate calendar entry found.
