Have you tried looking on freebmd for possible marriage info?

Make that your first search, and see what you come up with

You refer to Mabel being a servant - in which census was that?

What was your great grandfather's name?

Now that you have the info about her full name, you will be able to find her marriage on freebmd.

That will enable you to look also for possible children

I won't deprive you of the pleasure, and I hope that nobody else will

Have you checked whether anyone else on GR is looking into this famliy?

There's a search trees option in the dark green bar at the top
