Brilliant work, Judi.
I was pretty sure you were on the right lines, then "mariners" widow clinches it!

Ancestry has scan of Richard and Christiana's marriage cert attached to a public member tree. Residence of both was Beeford at time of marriage. Witnesses were two members of Lokie family. Neither has a father mentioned. 

[judi2632]

Just noticed that on the 1851 census for Richard William Sykes  and christiannah

the George Lalie aged 30 Lodger is in fact
George LOCKIE aged 30 born 1821 Burlington, Yorkshire, England.....Gentleman servant...........may well be a BROTHER to Christiannah.

A George Lockie is one of the witnesses to the marriage, the other is a bit faint but I think it's John.
