edward summons and margaret summons formerley rudler
occupation edward is barge builder journeyman
a bit of a mystery to me, i dont know wether they were married.
Do you have any evidence that Margaret RUDLER did actually marry Edward SUMMONS?
ie a Marriage Certificate or other family info to confirm this marriage.
Have included some info. here that has already been posted on your thread, but trying to establish is there was a marriage between Edward & Margaret

No marriage seems to have taken place for Edward & Margaret,
although they are noted on the
1861 census as married
Edward Age 25
Barge Builder Margaret 20
Perhaps if someone has the parish records for St. Mary Battersea Surrey they could check for you just to confirm – if the marriage did take place I would say it would be sometime after the last Banns was read.This looks to be Malvinia’s father Edward marrying Ann he’s noted as a BACHELOR

Interesting that both Edward & Margaret married their partners at the same Church
As you said lavender123 all seems very odd, so Edward must have left Margaret & family soon after the birth of daughter Malvina Feb. 1863 as he married Oct 1863

Do you have any details of the birth of daughter Henrietta SUMMONS Limehouse?
She has the surname of CHRISTMAS on 1871/1881c born 1863 Limehouse & SUMMONS on 1891 census born 1862 Limehouse
