Hi again folks - here are some answers to your questions from Jan and some other information which may be of use:
Caroline Mary Hunter is her great grandmother - she married Henry Fowle. Jan's aunt remembered that Caroline's mother was called Keziah and that they lived in Jonathan Street in Lambeth.
In 1901, William and Keziah Hunter are living at 28 Jonathan Street with their now married daughter and her husband Caroline and Henry Fowle. Jan's grandfather Albert is one year old. She doesn't have Caroline's birth certificate.
On their marriage certificate, William and Keziah are supposed to be of full age, but this doesn't match the census information for Keziah so she probably lied about her age. She was probably born in either 1856 or 57.
We have never found Keziah prior to the 1881 census. We've checked the IGI and trawled 1837online for Keziah's birth but haven't checked the BIVRI.
On Caroline's marriage certificate she gives her father's name as William Bryant Hunter.
William and Keziah's other children with approx dates were:
Marion (Mary) 76
Henry Thomas 80 (d82)
Ernest 83
Florence 86
Arnold 87
Bessie 90 (d94)
Katherine 96
Frederick 98
