Elsie Duckworth

Elsie Duckworth is the wife of Cliff and the sister-in-law of Jack Duckworth.

Cliff left his wife just before Christmas 1994 to stay with and reconnect with Jack. However, Elsie tracked him down and, just after new year, barged her way into the Duckworth household. Cliff, having told Jack and Vera that he too was married to a Vera, was shocked. When Elsie introduced herself, Vera said: 'I thought you were Vera?' to which Elsie replied 'No, your Vera!' before dragging Cliff home, with Cliff pathetically promising to keep in touch.

Jack was mortified to her that, in June of that year, Cliff and Elsie had died in a car crash abroad. Vera, who had prayed for money the previous day, was guilt-ridden.

Jack and Vera inherited £30,000 from the couple's combined wills.
