Most likely death for Wm Scriven, 'husband' of Coralie (I have to call her that as I have trouble with spelling Whilhelmina!)

Name: William Scriven
Estimated birth year: abt 1833
Year of Registration: 1883
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Age at Death: 50
District: West Ham
County: Essex, Greater London
Volume: 4a
Page: 5

This is where my thought process went next....I looked for William on earlier censuses to see if he was previously married......couldn't see him easily in 1871, but in 1861 there's a William right age b Surry Southwark but living in Birmingham with wife Caroline. I don't know if that is the right man, but thought I'd look for a death for Caroline, half expecting either not to find one or to find one too late (ie after he was living with Coralie)........but I stopped short with the looking for Caroline death when I saw this one.....

Name: Caroline Williamina R Scriven
Estimated birth year: abt 1837
Year of Registration: 1907
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at Death: 70
District: Fulham
County: Greater London, London, Middlesex
Volume: 1a
Page: 217

That could be William's wife, but if I didn't know that Coralie had lived to 1911 I would be thinking this death was hers!! *another headache!!*
