Was Warner Mary's married name or was she a spinster?

A niece can be the child of a brother or sister.  If Elizabeth was the child of Mary's brother - her surname would be whatever Mary's maiden name was

If she was the child of a sister of Mary's it would be an unknown as you would have to know the married name(s) of Mary's sister(s)

Yes I do, that’s the son not the Fenton’s I am looking for.

Mary was a spinster

It makes sense that she was Elizabeth Cox then married James Fenton.
I’ve trawled through records on findmypast, freereg , ancestry, family search, the London archives, national archives and haven’t found them. I’ve moved out of London too so going to the archives is no longer possible.
I could go through the newspaper archives or find some directories online. That might shed some light.

It could also be that their particular parish records aren’t online.

It’s not a biggie, it’ll just be nice to tick that box :)
