Newman's in Chelmsford, Essex England 1800's

Newman's in Chelmsford, Essex England between 1824 to at least the 1880's

My grandfather was Frederick John Newman born 1887 Middlesex, England.

I know my great-grandparents were Frederick Charles Newman and Mary Ann Simmons from my grandfahter's birth certificate.

Guesswork based on searches of the censuses (mostly transcriptions) and BMD indexes have given me the following-

Frederick Charles' father is George Newman born apx 1824 in Essex, England and his mother is Mary Bridge born apx 1835 in Southminister, Essex, England. They had at least the following children all born in Chelmsford:
George Henry Newman b 1859
Louisa Jane Newman b 1861
John William Newman b 1863
Frederick Charles Newman b 1865
Alice Mary Newman b 1868

George is not listed on the 1871 census and Mary is remarried by the 1881 census because it lists a Mary Ann Willsher with the Newman children as stepchildren to the head of house. There is a George Newman in the death index of Sep 1868, not sure if this is the right person.

Mary married Frank Willsher probably around 1872, but I can't find the marriage in the BMD index, the 1881 census show that Frank was born 1845 in White Colne, Essex, England and was a miller and stone man (stone dresser) they had the following children according to the 1881 census:
Mary Ann Willsher b 1873
Florence Willshere b 1876
Maud Minnie Willsher b 1878

Maybe someone out there is also searching for this family and might connect? or give me some tips on finding out if the info i have is correct (short of actually ordering all the certificates, which I can't afford that)
