My Husbands family includes in its ranks

WALTER RUZBRIDGE +MARY ELIZABETH RUZBRIGDE nee
HORROCKS
but i cannot find them in the census entries I have
searched vainly for months but their appears to be a
mystery to me as I got a death certificate for a
WALTER RUZBRIDGE giving a date of death as 7th april
1874 age 48 years.in Greenwich at roan st & issued by
a coroner.

I then have a marriage certificate for
mary elizabeth ruzbridge nee horrocks widow father
JAMES
to a RICHARD WRIGHT father James by banns ages of
both full alas at chrlton parish church on april 27th
1874.
This stricks me as rather hasty for a widow or even
for banns to be read. What I find even odder is
another reference on freebmd for Jun 1870 marriages
for poplar 1c 1186 for an Mary Elizabeth Ruzbridge and
on the males I see a Richard William Wright
coincidence or what

I have sent of fot that certificate as well in case it
sheds some light on the family. any assistence
tracking them down is very welcome

I have had no luck with marriage witnesses of thos for
my other halks gg grandmothers wedding again in
charlton to WILLIAM COTTON in sept 1875 Walter
daughter were were they in 1871 and 1881.
