My great great great grandparents were Lewis Wilcher and Marion Willson, born about 1811. They were married 27 August 1836 at St Botolph's Bishopsgate in London. they had 5 children between 1837 and 1848, and Marian died 2 August 1849. In the 1851 census, Lewis was living in Crucifix lane with 3 of his children and his mother-in-law, Mary Ann Smith, 59 years old, born in Bath, Somerset. For a while i didn't know if her surname was Smith or maybe Sevitt, until I found Lewis other 2 children in the 1851 census, living with Uncle Theophilus Smith, 39 years of age, born in Wickenham, Middlesex. He was a schoolmaster. In the 1861 census, Mary Ann Smith, 70 yo in 1861, the widow of a schoolmaster, born in Bath Somerset, and Theophilus Smith is her son, and she is living with him, his wife and their 6 children at St John's Academy, Hampton Wick, Middlesex. Marion was a spinster and her name was Willson, Her mother was Smith and i can find no connection between smith and Willson. What am I missing?
