It is interesting that Stephen knew his father’s name. I don’t think that was very common for illegitimate children.

Here is a possible father, in the approximate place and free at the right time.
This George STRUDWICK is a carpenter / builder through various records – and may have had something to do with his son Stephen going into a similar trade. Just speculation.

George STRUDWICK bapt 26 Dec 1819 Holy Trinity Guildford
to parents William (occupation carpenter) and Jane STRUDWICK

1841 census
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MQKZ-73B
His father is a builder, and George is an apprentice

In 1851 Guildford
George Strudwick 31 Carpenter, born Guildford
Mary Ann Strudwick, wife, 25, born Alford
Jane Strudwick, 5 months

His wife was Mary Ann HEATHER.
George and Mary Ann married 29 Nov 1849 in St Mary Islington.

The Strudwick family stay in Guildford through the census records.

Stephen’s mother:
In 1841 Sarah TAYLOR age 19 is living in Woking with parents and brother

Thank you everyone for your help but I think I have the wrong Stephen Taylor.
I have found a marriage between a Stephen Taylor and a Martha Morley m 1873 Lewisham, this fits in with a Frances Taylor/Morley born about 1882 I have been researching the only problem is I cannot find any other information so Stephen Taylor and Martha Morley might not be Frances parents. Back to the drawing board.

[Neale1961]

I have found a marriage between a Stephen Taylor and a Martha Morley m 1873 Lewisham,

I cannot find this marriage. Can you please give full details.
