Just putting what I assume is her marriage:
Marriages Dec 1893
Levitt James Islington 1b 596
Luscombe Martha Betty Islington 1b 596
(Just in case 1891 census was wrong and she had already died)

followed by death:
Deaths Jun 1896
Levitt Martha 48 Islington 1b 198

Both father's deceased. He is a widower, she a spinster. One of the witnesses was Ellen Luscombe - but I can't read the first name of the other.
