William Fisher Middleton married Emma Middleton 8 Sept 1863, Chesterton.

Mary Fisher Middleton born to William Fisher and Emma Middleton 1864, Chesterton. Bap. 10 April.

Can anyone see maiden name of William's mother and when William died? Emma remarried 1877.
Were William and Emma related?

Assuming it is the correct Mary, she must have died in childbirth; or soon after. Quite sad.
I believe Kezia is the sister of Emma.

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).
