Checked the GRO site - no births for Cox with MMN Everson between 1875 and 1884, so no clues there to help with 1881 census

You say you've found Mary Ann Cox's death in Plumstead in 1884.

For our reference:

Mary Ann Cox
in the London, England, Church of England Deaths and Burials, 1813-2003
Name: Mary Ann Cox
Age: 34
Record Type: Burial
Birth Date: abt 1850
Death Date: abt 1884
Burial Date: 14 Oct 1884
Burial Place: St Margaret, Plumstead, Greenwich, England
Register Type: Parish Register

However, although the burial record says her abode was Armstrong Street, Plumstead, her death was registered in Wandsworth, and not Woolwich (which includes Plumstead).
