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."

Family Story:
Arthur was in the Army in India. He was covered in tattoos which were done in India, one was a snake tattoo around his neck. He had birth marks on his legs which looked like fishes scales.

After leaving the Army he lost his little finger, it was crushed by a horse against the rim of a barrel. He walked home with it in his pocket and kept it until it turned black in his waistcoat pocket. He got it out to show people.

He had a scar on his head from the time when he worked at the docks, a crane bucket hit him on the head and he was nearly killed. The family were planning to go to Australia but then he had his accident so they couldn't go.

Arthur used to get blind drunk all the time, all the policemen knew him and turned a blind eye to him. When he was drunk at work he couldn't drive the cart, so the horses used to take him home.

Arthur sat by the fireplace, rolled a cigarette, then coughed for five minutes after a few puffs. He spat in the fire afterwards.

Arthur wore a thick leather belt with a horse buckle, his trousers were high waisted and came above the belt. He kept pigeons.

Arthur married Emily Welch on 25 Dec 1901 in St Andrew's Church, Islington, Middlesex, England. Emily (daughter of Benjamin Welch and Sarah Ann Biggs) was born on 1 Feb 1879 in 11, Long Street, Shoreditch, Middlesex, England; died on 2 Mar 1963 in 28, Mead Plat, Willesden, Middlesex, England; was buried in Islington Cemetery, East Finchley, Middlesex, England.
