Seems Lucy did resonably well in her marriage to Reuben, the handyman
1881
RG11 3329 103 9
9 Elson Street Basford
Reuben 31 Plumber (master, empl 6 men and 5 boys) bn Lenton
Lucy 31 bn Bas.
Reuben 9
April 7 (Annie in 1891, this one not clear)
Lucy 5
Leonard 2 all children bn Basford
Selby Gregory boarder 20 plumber bn Leics
Mary Lane 15 house servant
now I wonder if Selby is a distant rellie on the Gregory side? seeing as Lucy's dad, Daniel gregory came from Leics!

I'm getting a bit worried about Selby as I cant find him on any other censuses or a birth for him. Perhaps that isnt his name. Perhaps I couldnt read it. Perhaps he is Gregory Selby and not related to the Gregorys at all, just coincidnece he has a Gregory in his name and comes from Leicester.
Who knows!

He could have married 2 Elizabeths
I think this is him in 1861
sorry forgot to note reference
23 Bridge Street
Robert 33 Frame work knitter empl 30 men
Elizabeth 33
Sarah Ann 9
MAry Emma 7
John Thomas 5
Elizabeth 2
So if he was Daniels brother, then Selby/Silby was Lucy Morley nee Gregory's cousin.
Isnt this fun!

There are 3 Elizabeth Gregory deaths between 1861 and 1871 in Leicester.
2 of them could be his first wife and the daughter.
But only a "possible" would need certs etc to see
annoyingly too early for ages in the death index
and one for John Thomas in 1865, again no age, so might not be the son
