1841 Census
The family before William Middleton as posted by hanes tulu
is Mary Fisher age 66 Ind. born in county with 3 servants.
1851 William age 9 is living with her. I expect that's where the Fisher middle name comes in.

Just to add to the earlier info—yes, that marriage record for 25 August 1850 in Lambeth is confirmed: William Middleton (widower, son of David Middleton, carpenter) married Susannah Gray (spinster, daughter of Henry Gray, laborer). Witnesses were John Middleton and Mary Davey (maybe Dewey—your hunch might be right).
