What happened to William and his wife Susan/Susanna(h) after 1871?

William was born in Bodicote in 1851, son of Francis Claydon and Elizabeth Hayward.

After that, I can't see either William or Susan/Susanna(h).


He is NOT the William Claydon, born 1851 in Cuddesdon (reg district Headington), who married Mary Ann Hilsdon, nee Turner, father Edwin Turner, in 1874, and by 1881 had had children William Edward, Lizzie Louisa, Lily Emily, and Herbert Henry - and others later.
That man died in Cuddeston in 1920, and his father was Joseph, per the marriage cert.

Susan/Susanna(h) was born 1846, mmn Herbert, father John.
She is NOT the unmarried Susan Turner who is a domestic servant at an orphanage in Radford, Oxon in 1891 and 1901 , and an inmate of a Nazareth Home in Oxford in 1911.
She is also NOT the Susanna Claydon who married Thomas Wood in 1897 - that's a much younger woman.

Perhaps someone else can spot something I've missed?

Thanks!
