Falkland Islands "Desire The Right"

Hi Shelley
Fanny Maria NEPTON marriage registration to Frank VOWDEN is in 1886 - and she is with him in 1891 Census, where as you say it indicates YOB 1865 Devonshire Devon. Her age of 33 in 1901, however, indicates a YOB of 1868 - which fits better with the following 
I think her maiden surname is usually rather NAPTON than NEPTON - and her father was married twice.....and was a Seaman, then a Butcher before being a Waterman
MARRIAGE: Jun Qtr 1846, Stoke Demeral
Richard NAPTON and Catherine TUCKER
Didn't find Richard - it infers he is at sea, but here is 1st wife Catherine and their 2 children:
1851: Stoke Demeral, Devonport Devonshire
Ref: HO107/ Piece:1882- Folio 219- Pg31
Address: 57 Princess Street
Head: Catherine NAPTON 23, marr, Seamans Wife, b Devonport Devon
Dau: Jessie NAPTON 3, b Southdown Nr Milbrook, Cornwall
Dau: Matilda NAPTON 2, b Southdown Nr Milbrook, Cornwall
He is with them in 1861, and has apparently taken a break from the sea
1861: Stoke Demeral, Devonport Devonshire
Ref: RG9/ Piece 1449- Folio 14- Pg 24
Address: Mutton Cove
Head: Richard NAPTON 36, Butcher, b Kingsland Devon
Wife: Catherine 35, b Devonport Devon
Dau: Jessie NAPTON 13, b Southdown Devon
----? Eliza Ann COAD 21, unm, Housekeeper, b Truro, Cornwall
Dau: Matilda NAPTON 12, b Parish of Maker
Boarder: Walter STRATTON 49, Widower, Waterman, b Falmouth Cornwall
Though no relatoionship is stated, suspect Miss Coad is also a Boarder - and enumerator mistakenly put her in before dau of the Head, Matilda.
Richard now appears with his 2nd family in 1871 - including a first appearance of your Fanny!
1871: Stoke Dameral- Folio 13- Pg17
Address: 4 Mutton Cove "Mutton Cove Inn"
Head: Richard NAPTON 49, Butcher. b Maker, Devonshire
Wife: Eliza NAPTON 20, b Devonport Devonshire
Dau: Fanny M NAPTON 3, b Devonport Devonshire
Son: John H J NAPTON 1, b Devonport Devonshire
Dau: Edith NAPTON 3 months, b Devonport Devonshire
The licenxee at "Mutton Cove Inn" is another seperate family named DAVEY, there is actually no address next to the NAPTON's name, but the way the Census is laid out, it is clear they were a seperate "household" living at that address.
Richard and Eliza weren't married in 1871!
Of their children in 1871, Fanny's birth I think is under her mother's maiden name. But John and Edith are under NAPTON /NEPTON- as are some of the later born children as named in 1881 - maybe after Fanny they knew the registrar wouldn't rumble them when they were registered as "legitimate" under Richard's name?
BIRTHS:
Fanny Maria N EDWARDS - Dec Qtr 1867, Stoke Demeral. Chances are high that N stands for NAPTON.
John Henry J NAPTON - Dec Qtr 1869, Stoke Demeral.
Edith NEPTON - Dec Qtr 1870, Stike Demeral, (She died Marc Qtr 1874 Edith NAPTON age 3
MARRIAGE: Sep Qtr 1876 Stoke Demeral
Richard NAPTON and Eliza Jane EDWARDS
Dau Fanny Maria isn't with them 1881 - I can't seem to find her  - but her family is still at same place:
1881: Stoke Demeral, Devonport, Devonshire
Ref: RG11- Piece 2206- Folio 139- Pg 24
Address: 2 Mutton COVE
Head: Richard NAPTON 61, Licensed Waterman, b Kingsand, Cornwall
Wife: Eliza J NAPTON 34, b Devonport Devonshire
Son: John H J NAPTON 11, b Devonport Devonshire
Son: Richard NAPTON 8, b Devonport Devonshire
Dau: Eliza Jane NAPTON 6, b Devonport Devonshire
Son: Albert NAPTON 4, b Devonport Devonshire
