FreeBMD has the following:

George Laws and Alice Hurry appear on the same page - December quarter 1874, No Witchford Registration District, 3b page 1275.

There is nothing for George William Laws, with an "Alice" on the same page.

Hurry    Alice        N. Witchford    3b   1275   
Laws    George        N. Witchford    3b   1275   
DC 1874   
Think this could be them.

The 1911 is the only Census that Alice is given as born in Staffordshire.The other ones give her as born in Charteris Cambridgeshire.

George William Laws was born 14 Dec. 1851 in Chatteris. He was baptized 8 Feb. 1852 in Chatteris.
Alice Hurry was born 25 May 1852 in Swan Village, Staffs. She was baptized 13 Nov. 1853 in Bradford St Peter, Yorks.
George and Alice were married in Chatteris on 18 Oct. 1874.
I have not yet found Alice's death/burial.
George died 3 Jan. 1912 and was buried in St Giles Church, Holme, Cambs. His small headstone reads.-
IN LOVING MEMORY OF GEORGE WILLIAM THE BELOVED HUSBAND OF ALICE LAWS WHO DIED JANUARY 3RD 1912.
George is my 2nd great grandfather.
