Thank you all for your input. sorry I haven't replied earlier but suffering from a rotten cold. It seems there are 2 Charles Witneys 1 married an Elizabeth Price and the other Sarah Elizabeth Fellows. I do know the son Charles John was a Coal Porter who died in Hoxton Asylum 1881 and from him I can trace my  grandmother and then my father so I know he is the right one. So I will try again and try to sort out which Charles is which. Thank you for your help

Thank you Jon  Sarah is  a headache! I was so sure I had the right one it is so hard when there is so many gaps.Now Im wondering if I have the right Charles Witney. I shall have to retrace my records to make sure Im on the right path. I am sure of his son John Charles Witney [my Gt.Grandfather] So I will try again. Thank you for your input and time

thanks to all for your input Think I have this right Charles Witney now [fingers crossed] and hopefully on the correct trail for Sarah Elizabeth Fellows:
born 1811  Castle St. Kingsland
baptised 15.9.1811 St.John Hackney
1841 census: Living at Castle Street with Mother Ann
1841 13.6.1841 married Sarah Elizabeth Fellows
1851 census: Castle Street with widowed mother [no sign of Sarah]
1851 birth of daughter Sarah Elizabeth [JQ V.04 P.330 Lambeth] mmn Fellows baptised 6.7.1851
this is a bit strange because the daughter was born in the Infirmary of Workhouse Lambeth
1854 Poor Law Settlement which confirms Charles was born in Castle street Kingsland. His wife Sarah left.
1854 his wife Sarah died in the Workhouse 16.5.1854 and was buried in St.Pancreas Chapel.
Obviously I will have to buy a few death certs etc. to confirm all this and if anyone can see where maybe I have got it wrong please let me know. Once again thank you all without you I would still be going round in circles

Thank you everybody for your time and advice. I think maybe somewhere down the line I have confused two Charles Witney's somehow so I'm going to take a deep breath and start again. So confusing! Wish me luck

Hoping someone who is more experienced in research can help me please.
Sarah Elizabeth Fellows
Born: 22.5.1825
Bpt:   17.7.1825 Newington Surrey
Father John Fellows Mother: Sarah ?
Married: Charles Witney 1841
find them in the 1851census living in 62 Catherine Street Lambeth
Cant find Sarah after this.
In 1861 her husband Charles is in Hackney Workhouse where he died in 1862 listed as Blind
but cant find anything else. Did she marry again? Or did she die? Looked on BMD for a death but cant find anything. Hope this is not too long winded.

Yes I Agree the info is a bit hazy. Looking at the 1901 census Louise born in Cambs which is ok. Age of Joseph also ok. Joseph born in Cambs doesn't marry up. But maybe the enumerator got it wrong? the address at the time 50, Weston St is the same address as place of death and also same address as 1901 census. Also Grave No.5456 corresponds with the private grave Joseph purchased. What is wrong is age at death 70 yrs. should have been 80 yrs. What do you think?

Yes it does seem maybe Elizabeth left Edward Trusty and set up home with Joseph Marshall. Elizabeth died in 1867 Joseph bought a private grave and she was buried in City of London &Tower Hamlets Cemetery [Bow]. Joseph married again in 1874 to Louisa Bavey and heyy remained together till he died in 1910 when he was buried in the same grave.

Thank you all so much for your time in helping with this. I now think [with lots of Ospreys help] that Elizabeth Sykes married Edward Trusty when she was 15 yrs [so young]  the oldest son Edward in the 1861 census seems to be Edward Trusty's son. So now Im off to find a death for Edward Trusty and a possible marriage between Joseph Marshall and Elizabeth.
Once again thank you all for your input and thank you Osprey for putting me on the right path.
