On the 1939 Register there's:
19 West Park, Woolwich, London
Ellen Grant b 10 Jan 1897 Assistant To Cook War Memorial Hospital, married
No children in the house.
Others in the house are Charlotte Smith single dob 31 Mar 1899 and Charlotte Smith widow dob 2 Nov 1862.
Looking back at the 1901 and 1911 census the two Charlottes are Ellen's sister and mother. In 1911 their address is 2 Belle Grove Road Welling (Bexley) Kent. In 1901 they are at 2 William's Terrace, but I think this may be the same address as when Charlotte senr said Belle Grove Road in 1911 the enumerator recorded it as William's Terrace!
So, I don't know that this is definitely the correct Ellen, but it looks possible! Any children may have been evacuated. If this is the right Ellen then the father's details from the marriage certificate should match with what is on the 1901 census - Alfred Smith, dock labourer. He died between 1901 and 1911. In 1901 he was aged 49 and born in Great Yarmouth in Norfolk. If the father is someone else on the marriage cert then I probably have the wrong Ellen!
