Hi I have ben trying to find Eva Charlotte Bywater in the census. I think I have found her in births listed as female 1862 West Ham. She married in June 1881 to Robert Elliott Ivey. I have found him in census including 1881. Eva appears in census after she married and gives her birth as 1863 Notting Hill. Her father was Henry Bywater. I wonder if the census on Ancestry are complete. Thanks to anyone who can help.

No I don't know any siblings names. On the marriage cert Henry gives his profession as basket maker.

The witnesses are Cecil Ivey and Mary Ivey. The name you kept coming back to Eva Wilson. I checked this and also listed as a servant was a Lucy Ann Ivey but as far as I can tell I dont think she is from Robert Iveys immediate family.
