Find Ancestors

I am trying to find the wife of Charles king born in 1850 In Bury St Edmund Suffolk.
He married in 1875 and on the record there is a Eliza Marshall and Jane Kent with Harry Skinner. I looked up in the 1881 census and found a Harry Skinner with a Jane, so it looks like Charles married Eliza. I don't know anything about Eliza, where born etc, but Charles is married on 1881 and is a boarder in Bury St Edmund. Can anyone help at all please?

Have you looked for children of the marriage?

Oh the marriage of Elizas parents?

Wonder why she isn't living with family?

Thank you so much Erika, I have been trying to find all this, this afternoon and you have found it just like that! You are a treasure.xx

I assume your question (at 17:13) relates to the 1881 census?

The children are with their grandmother, Charles is a boarder in Bury St Edmunds, Eliza is a cook with the Temple family.

Remember that the census only shows the situation on one particular night.
It doesn't necessarily mean that they were living apart long-term.

However, perhaps the marriage had broken up, so that Charles had moved out, and Eliza had a live-in job.. But who knows?!

In 1901 (married) and 1911 (widower), Charles was in the Workhouse
