I know this isn't what you asked for but I'm trying to find out if her name was actually Orpah. I see here the wife's name is Mary Ann but evidently a different wife:
1871 census
8 Palmerston Rd., Plumstead, Kent
Henry Willson, head, 33, engine driver, born Kent Bromley
Mary Ann, wife, 32, born Middlesex, Holborn
