Have you looked on freebmd which is the main website for this type of query
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com
The only 1881 entry that matches some of your profile for them shows William Henry aged 44 b Chipping Norton and Eliza Mary 23 b Woolwich Kent - clearly a second marriage for William in view of the childrens ages
-
yes I have already searched there ,I think william was in gillingham in 1871 , elizabeth ann was in hartley so they could not have married very far away , regards jasper2

william was in gillingham in 1871 , elizabeth ann was in hartley
William was a soldier in 1871 aged 36
The only Elizabeth A Longhurst in Hartley was married to John and she was 60yrs old
-
they are her parents ! jasper2
-
As I said - she was the only Elizabeth A Longhurst living in Hartley in 1871 and she did not have any female children living with her and her husband
There is no match for her on the 1871 with the birthplace given by you
-
I have her on all bar the 71 census , by 1881 she is married with 3 children ,jasper2

Eldest child was 6 in 1881
Dartford was the reg district for Hartley which is where they are living in 1881
Freebmd has a June 1877 marriage in Dartford with a female name missing so you will need to check the full GRO index for that qtr to see if it matches to a Longhurst
