Thanks - Emily's maiden name was Mason.

Have you been able to identify Henry in 1881?

There doesn't seem to be a Henry Carter born West Ham on earlier censuses. Do you have his marriage cert? If so, what does it say about his father?

Oooh - I like the fact he's Henry J  (although he marries as plain Henry apparently). Also dad a General Dealer. 

Does it say place of birth Plaistow? Are you posting the full details? 

[Necromancer]

no, just off - and didnt want to steal your thunder
