Esther WOOD born 1861 at Hoarwithy (General)

My great-great grandmother was Esther Wood (b Hoarwithy 19 Apr 1861), the d/o Joseph & Mary Ann Wood

The 1871 Census shows the family at Red Rail, Hentland and by the 1881 Census she was in service to a Harry F Gardiner, solicitor's clerk at 29 Park Street, Weston Place, Hereford St. Owen

I have her marriage certificate from 1890 to my great-great grandfather, William Watkins - the marriage was at Hoarwithy

However, on this certificate it shows her as formerly Wood, formerly JONES

I have failed in my research to find her marriage to Mr Jones between the 1881 Census and her subsequent marriage to William Watkins

Although it is quite possible that, whilst in service she moved out of the area completely I cannot find any marriage in the BMDs that could be hers

Any thoughts appreciated

Thanks
