Thank you so much for the look ups. Susan and Robert (Nathaniel) definitely married in the June according to the GRO. I'll have another trawl in case I missed a marriage! Thank you all for your efforts in the look ups.

This looks to be Susan in 1881:-

Name: Sussan Fox
Age: 21
Estimated birth year: abt 1860
Relation: Servant
Gender: Female
Where born: Glastonbury, Somerset, England

Civil parish: Teddington
County/Island: Middlesex
Country: England

Street Address: Bushy Villa

Occupation: Dom Serv

Registration district: Kingston
Sub-registration district: Hampton

Edwin Williams 34
Sussan Williams 36

Herbert Williams 1

...........but Robert is noted as being married in the 1881 record?
Maybe Susan kept the fact she was married a secret, as at this time a servant wasn't always allowed to marry without the permission of her employer.

Thank you for tracking him down. I wish they'd stop changing names around it would make life a little easier!

The look ups are much appreciated.

Well done Catherine, you spotted my deliberate mistake (lol).

I posted the 1891 first and then tried to edit the post by adding the 1901 to it and I cocked up. So I then made another post of just the 1901. I forgot to then edit the 1891 back to its original.

"We all make them" as the hedgehog said as he climbed off the scrubbing brush.

Jonesey - it is odd that Robert married so young. Robert doesn't seem to appear though with his family on the 1881 census
