In 1920, Ethel was said to be widowed......................but that could be a 'face-saver'

Thanks, interesting that he could be in hospital

Central Islip State Hospital was a psychiatric hospital.

If that's the correct man, he was obviously a long-term patient - hence Ethel's possible face-saving as ErikaH suggests, as mental illness wasn't talked about in those days..
