PS who were the witnesses at the 1859 marriage?

I would like to find out why James does not feature on the Coventry or Nottingham Census of 1871 or 1881.  Sometime after George was born in 1873 in Nottingham and up to 1881 Hannah was widowed. I can't find a burial record for James. Any ideas?

The witnesses to the marriage were Susanne Thornton (who signed with a cross) and Geo Jeayes. I know Hannah was in Service when she married James.

OK will look some more, who is the "Niece" Maria Stevens aged 18 b Notts in 1881, ie whose Niece James or Hannah's?

  May be worthwhile then looking into just who she is!

In a similar fashion in 1881 Hannah Holt has 2 Boarders Mary A Woodward aged 10 and Edward Woodward aged 8 both born Notts,  in 1891 Hannah M aged 52 is living with a widowed William Woodward 45 b Calverton, Notts

Geo Jeayes the witness to the marriage was probably my ancestor who was a parish clerk in Coventry.
