Before I read any of the replies I saw it as Elysee although now I've seen others see Wylie that looks more likely.   :)

If it is Wylee, then the 'W' is very different from how he writes the 'W' in 'Wife'.

Judging by how he writes 'M', I think the first letter looks like 'N' - but then the rest of the name does not make sense!

I still see Wylee if I view it on its own but I agree, the first letter looks nothing like other W's on the page.

I can't see another letter on the page which does look similar. What about on the preceding and subsequent census pages, any clues there?

the FindMyPast transcriber couldn't work it out either, she's just Alice?  - no help at all!

He died a short time after the 1891 census from Typhoid and is William Henry Budd on his death certificate. He died at his Legg in-laws in Elstead, Surrey. His son called him WHB too when he married.

He did?

so who is the WB with Charlotte in the 1901 census?

It looks like "Wysee" to me - not a real name I think though.

I notice that in 1881 an Alice BUDD b abt 1863 Chobham Surrey (not a match on birthplace I know) is in service in Chiswick. Also in the household is a boarder, Percy MYSEY(?) b abt 1861 Cheshunt Herts. Might they have married one another?

With the confusion in William Henry Budd's names, age, place of birth and whether he was with his wife or dead in 1901, it sounds to me as though deciphering Alice's married surname might be the least of the OPs worries.

In fact this sounds like it might maek a scavenger hunt  ;D

To the OP: Please can you give us ALL the info from the marraige cert - where, when , names, ages, father's details, licence, banns, witnesses, the whole caboodle? Only then will we know whether we're looking at the right marraige on freeBMD, and we might be able to find out some more info based on statements rather than guesswork.

Ditto the death cert - what are the finer details on that?

This looks like Charlotte's remarriage - so William in 1901 is 2nd hubby who has taken his wife's first married name!

Marriage, 24 Feb 1895, St Paul, Bermondsey

William George CHUDLEIGH 30 Bach Labourer of 149 Weston St, father William CHUDLEIGH (occupation illegible)
Charlotte BUDD 35 Widow of 47 Snowsfield, father John LEGG (deceased)
