Her marriage was in the name of Ann Tugby, widow, and she was living at Litchfield Street, Burton on Trent at the time

I cannot find the marriage but a John Tugby 36 died in Burton upon Trent in 1883, clearly after Ann stated as widow, so maybe something was amiss with the marriage. If he was the husband?

If Mr Tugby d 1883, why is her being a widow a year later an oddity?

Because I misread the post and I assumed incorrectly it referred to the census not the marriage record.
However still unable to find ant marriage for Ann Bennett to a Tugby?
