Hi there,
It would’ve helped if you knew where she lived. I was actually quite lucky, considering what limited details I had to go on.

I found her living in Nottingham in 1901 but the husband’s name is Henry Smith. I located an Eliza Ann Smith born 1867 in Nottingham in 1911, but unsure if it is her since the husband’s name is different.

I didn’t try looking for George Samuel Smith because unless you know anything else there’s no point since Smith is the most common name in the UK – I’d have no luck deciphering him.
Kind regards,
B
