I was wondering if anyone could help me with a brick wall I have on my family tree (I have been stuck on it for over a year.

-I am looking to find their parents and Siblings since for both of them I only have information on them after they were married.

-I am also looking for the Date of Death of Thomas Johnson

-I am also trying to find out how Fanny Wilmot last name turned out to be "Jaques" upon her last marriage

Facts
Thomas Johnson  born 1848 • Maidstone, Kent, or Exeter, Devon England and Died ???
married 14 Jan 1877 • London, England to
Fanny Wilmot (born  3 FEB 1851 • Holy Trinity, Bristol, Gloucester, England died 18 JUN 1923 • Bath, Somerset, England)

They had a Daughter (my great grandmother)
Ruby Ingram Johnson born 16 DEC 1877 • Southampton, Hampshire, England and died 10 NOV 1956 • Kensington, London, England

1881 census,  Thomas, Fanny and Ruby Johnson lived 38 Bignor St, Cheetham, Lancashire
 1891 Thomas, Fanny Johnson ""Brixton, Lambeth, London, England” (no Ruby living with them?) maybe a different couple????

I think Thomas Johnson died 13 Mar 1891 buried in Prescot, Lancashire, England. Yet I am not sure if it was the same person I am related to???

1901 ??? I have found "Fanny Marchmont” with her husband ""Arthur W Marchmont”
In ""Bristol, Somerset, England”
( I know that Fanny married Arthur Marchmont for two reasons
1. Ruby Fortt nee Johnson inherited Arthur Marchmont estate upon his death and I have record of that.
2. Ruby Fortt nee Johnson told my mom her mom Fanny married a well know Author Arthur W Marchmont. (record shows Arthur Marchmont married a Fanny Jaques, I have no Idea where the Jaques name came from???

1911 I have a Fanny And Thomas Johnson living at "50 Effra Parade, Brixton SW I think this is a different couple with the same name and Thomas with the same Birth year.???? Which makes me think I have had two couple mixed up???

Anyways I would appreciate any help clearing this up
Thanks

I would say she had another marriage before the Marchmont one.
(Or at least said she had an in between marriage)

Do you have the 1877 marriage record? What are their fathers' names and occupations?

William Edward Jacques died October 1891
Probate to Fanny Johnson widow

So probably they didn’t ever marry.
1892 address for Fanny and Arthur most probably a lodging house.
