It is likely that Jane died in the Spainsh Flu epidemic that occurred in 1918 to 1919. The first wave of the epidemic occurred in February to July 1918 and was not very virulent. The second and most virulent version of the virus was between September and December 1918. The third and final wave was between February to April 1919, and in terms of deaths was intermediate between the first and second waves.
That Jane died in January 1919 means that it is unclear as to which wave of the epidemic caused her death.
Jane Wetherilt married John Francis Coe in 1861. Civil Registration of marriage reference is Mar 1861, Vol 1d, p 213 - Newington London.16
She appears with him in the 1861 Census.

He died in Stockwell Fever Hospital, and the cause of death was "Variola 9 days Certified Vaccinated". Variola is the virus that causes smallpox. 120
The Stockwell Fever Hospital and Stockwell Smallpox Hospital were originally built by the Metropolitan Asylums board as two separate, adjacent hospitals, under the joint name of The South Western Hospital, Landor Road, SW 9. The Stockwell Smallpox Hospital opened on 31 January 1871 to admit patients suffering from the virulent epidemic of smallpox which was then afflicting London. However, the Stockwell Fever Hospital was also initially used to treat smallpox patients.120
The Stockwell Smallpox Hospital, Admission and Discharge Book does not record John Francis Coe as being admitted (ref. The London Metropolitan Archves LMA H15/SW/B1/1). 120
