Looking at the image of the 1901 census that jansmith has given above it states that Eliza was blind from birth and that she was single.....perhaps they then just invented a husband for her son James' baptism?

Perhaps someone with a sub for the 1911 census would be kind enough to have a look at the following for Patricia .... I can see that young James is with her but it is diffcult for me to see who else is with her

HOUSEHOLD BURGESS ELIZA F 1872 39 Southwark London

Different Patricia
BURGESS, John Head Married M 73 1838 Horse Cab Driver Etchingham Sussex
BURGESS, Sarah Wife Married 54 years 13 children born, 8 still living F 69 1842 London Southwark
BURGESS, Eliza Daughter Single F 39 1872 London Southwark
BURGESS, James Grandson Single M 11 1900 School London Walworth
BURGESS, William Grandson Single M 1 1910 London Camberwell
RG number: RG14 Piece: 1834 Reference: RG14PN1834 RG78PN65 RD23 SD5 ED16 SN177
Registration District: Southwark Sub District: Newington South Enumeration District: 16 Parish: St Mary Newington Address: 12 Alvey Mews Walworth County: London
So John is still working at 73 after 54 years of marriage, no retirement at 65 then, and Sarah just(?)16 when married, so teenage marriages can work out.
(The 'blind' column is cut out for now)

If the baptism is right father James then i just put 1901 for possible info job might fit groom/horse keeper!! and don't think he lived too far away from her family
