Trying to find Ecott

Looking for a mystery Ecott, about whom I know almost nil.

My grandmother, Lilias Sarah Ecott, was born in Walthamstow in 1897, and married there in 1920. One witness on the marriage certificate was Ada Sarah Shaw, the groom's mother and my great-grandmother. The other has signed only as Miss P. Ecott. Despite having an extensive tree, and knowing that the Walthamstow area was full of our family, we have no idea who she was.

We have a Mabel (middle initial 'P' born in Walthamstow) and a Phoebe, born c1843 in Gloucestershire, daughter of Solomon.

Any clue would be great!

Thank you.
