Who was she married to and when and where ? Can't look without these details. Then it will still be hard work but worth a try.
With kind regards Donna

You may well have all this info but i will give it to you anyway as i am finding this as i search to find out who she was.

1871 census
Alfred Smith 10  Sydling, Dorset, England Son  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
Ann Smith 8  Sydling, Dorset, England Daughter  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
Christopher Smith 4  Sydling, Dorset, England Son  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
Frances Smith 32  Cerne Abbas, Dorset, England Wife  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
John Smith 32  Sydling, Dorset, England Head  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
Rachel Smith 1  Sydling, Dorset, England Daughter 

1881 census
Annie Smith abt 1838  Sydling, Dorset, England Wife  Sydling St Nicholas   
Christopher Smith abt 1867  Sydling, Dorset, England Son  Sydling St Nicholas   
John Smith abt 1838  Sydling, Dorset, England Head  Sydling St Nicholas   
Matthew M. Smith abt 1874  Sydling, Dorset, England Son  Sydling St Nicholas   
Rachel Smith abt 1870  Sydling, Dorset, England Daughter 

1901 census
Arthur Smith 19  Notton, Dorset, England Grandson  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
Fanny Smith 62  Cerne Abbas, Dorset, England Wife  Sydling St Nicholas  Dorset   
John Smith 62  Sydling St Nicholas, Dorset, England Head 

Well i have looked on free bmd and i have looked on Ancestry but i can not find them. Mind you it couldn't be a worse name to look for as there are hundreds of John Smiths but i couldn't even find any John Smiths in Dorset married around that time. I could find a John Smith married to a Frances but it was it was far to early to be him as he would of been too young. Nightmare. I will let you know if i come up with anything else on him.
Sorry i could not be of more help but it was worth a try. With kind regards Donna

You could try the OPC for Sydling,  http://www.dorset-opc.com/SydlingStNicholas.htm although she has not done the parish transcriptions, there is always a chance the baptisum for the child was done at the church and even the marriage.

I had a look in the 1851 index for Frances and Fanny, born Cerne aged about 12 the only one which was close was

"Id.","Surname","Forename(s)","Rel. to Head","Marital Status","Age","Age Extra","Born","Occupation","Birth place","Birth County","Birth Country","Census Parish","Piece","Folio","Page","Added","Unsure","Not !","Notes"

163196, Thorne, Fanny B., , , 12, Y, 1839, Scholar, Cerne, Dorset, England, Cerne Abbas, 1858, 711, 0, No, No, No,

Just to add on the 1851 Census the other Thornes on the same page were
Thorne, Alfred G., , , 40, Y, 1811, Hatter, Cerne, Dorset, England, Cerne Abbas, 1858, 711, 0, No, No, No,
Thorne, Alfred J., , , 7, Y, 1844, Scholar, Cerne, Dorset, England, Cerne Abbas, 1858, 711, 0, No, No, No,
Thorne, Edward J., , , 2, Y, 1849, , Cerne, Dorset, England, Cerne Abbas, 1858, 711, 0, No, No, No,
Thorne, Eleanor M., , , 37, Y, 1814, , Sydling, Dorset, England, Cerne Abbas, 1858, 711, 0, No, No, No,
Thorne, Fanny B., , , 12, Y, 1839, Scholar, Cerne, Dorset, England, Cerne Abbas, 1858, 711, 0, No, No, No,

As you can see there is a good chance the Fathers name is Alfred, and the mother was born in Sydling
