Thomas Robert Axon b Q1 in Walmer, Kent to William Henry Axon (Mariner) and Elizabeth (nee Drake).
I have him in 1851 and 1861 with parents, then in 1871 he is single and a Boy 2nd Class on the Boscaven, in 1881 still single and 2nd Captain Main Top on HMS Encounter then in 1891 he is married and a Boatswain but living in Royal Artillery Barracks, Sheerness.
He died on 9 Nov 1896 (registered in Medway) and has Probate in 1902 stating that he was living in New Brompton, Kent and left his effects of £112 10s to Mary Axon, widow.
Clearly he married between 3 April 1881 and 5 April 1891, but the only marriage that comes close is 1890 St John Baptists Church, Leytonstone between Thomas Robert Axon and Mary Burrows, but the father is given as William John Axon, not William Henry. There is a marriage Q4 1883 in Medway of a Thomas Axon, but the two females on the page are Sarah or Ann.
I know nothing about Mary, and a search for Mary Axon in 1891 brings up loads, but none are jumping out as a woman who is married but head of family, although I suppose she could be with her parents, but I don't know her maiden name.
Any ideas?
