Islington Gazette 23 May 1912
Yesterday Mr. Walter Schroder, at Islington, held an inquiry concerning the death of Beatrice Elizabeth Willis, aged five months, daughter of Steve Henry Willis, a carman, living at 1, Hollingsworth-street, N., who was found dead on Saturday.
Kate Willis, the mother stated that the deceased had been weak from birth and had undergone an operation at a hospital for a malformation of the lip. On Saturday she took the child into bed with her at 2 a.m. as it was fretful. At 5.40 a.m. her husband roused her. She looked at the baby and saw no signs of life.
Dr. Henry Edward Whitehead, of 475, Caledonian-road, who had made a post-mortem examination, said in his opinion death was due to a convulsive seizure following partial asphyxia from want of fresh air.
Verdict: "Death by misadventure."

Steve married Kate Patrick on 1 Aug 1898 in All Saints Church, Battle Bridge, Kings Cross, St Pancras, Middlesex, England. Kate (daughter of John Patrick and Jane Burcher) was born on 18 Sep 1878 in 3, Alexandra Road, Friern Barnet, Middlesex, England; was christened on 3 Nov 1878 in St James the Great's Church, Friern Barnet, Middlesex, England; died on 3 May 1941 in St Mary's Hospital, Islington, Middlesex, England; was buried on 10 May 1941 in Islington Cemetery, East Finchley, Middlesex, England.
