Looking for the marriage details/certificate between Dennis William Stearman & Eliza Lambert. They had a son Dennis William George born Sulivan, Grey Ontario 26 Aug 1873. I am assuming they married 1870-1873 and only had one child because Dennis William Snr died Dec 1873. Also cannot locate Eliza after her husbands death.

Yes, those looked like the right records - sorry got held up on the phone -
Noticed an anc tree which said David William George Stearman 1873 passed away in Vancouver 1948 but the parents on the death certificate don't tie up - so that is an error.

So it looks the family returned to England after Dennis died. That were I was going wrong becouse many of the same Stearman family stayed in Canada. Thanks for the help.

The link that RunKitty posted for the 1881 census shows Eliza lived on West Street, Harwich, so the following may be of some interest to you:
There is a newspaper article from the Essex Standard dated 12 Sept 1877 of a coroner's inquest into a man found dead on a beach. Eliza Stearman, widow, was called as a witness as she was running a boarding house at 55 West Street, Harwich and the deceased had been staying with her. He had been staying there several weeks, but she did state he had also stayed with her the prior year.
That would put her back in England at least by 1876.
