Elizabeth, on the 1901 England Census, Elizabeth Everett was listed as a boarder, widowed not servant (my mistake). Perhaps, Elizabeth is the grandmother to James Everett, married to Effie Merritt??? Or it could just be a coincidence.

Source: The Providence Directory, Containing the City Record, a Directory of the Citizens, and a Complete Business Directory and Register of Rhode Island. For the Year Commencing July 1, 1885. Providence, R.I.: Sampson, Davenport, and Company, 1885.
