Although he married in 1876, the 1881 census says he's unmarried - though of course census info isn't foolproof.

Where was he actually born - your OP says Fulham and Oxfordshire?
Is this who you think is him -

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
ENGLISH, ANDREW BROWN
GRO Reference: 1853 J Quarter in KENSINGTON PADDINGTON AND FULHAM Volume 01A Page 109

1881 had him as single

Are you sure you've been following the same Andrew throughout?

The marriage record to Alice says his father is Thomas:

Alice Deabill
in the London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921
Name: Alice Deabill
Estimated birth year: abt 1857
Age: 19

Spouse Age: 23
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 20 Apr 1876
Parish: St Mary, Battersea
Borough: Wandsworth
Father Name: Thomas Deabill
Spouse Father: Thomas English
Register Type: Parish Register


BUT the 1861 & 1871 censuses at Deadman's Lane say that Andrew's father was Richard:

Perhaps Richard's son is this Andrew ??

In fact, I can't see the birth of an Andrew English in Oxfordshire 1850-60. How do you know "your" Andrew was born there?

1851 - This is very coincidental - a Richard English born c 1811 in the Fulham area and a Garden Labourer . Doesn't say whether married. Maybe Ireland was just dittoed wrongly?
