There are various possibilities for Mary Ann Evans in 1851, especially if the year of birth wasn't recorded correctly.

This one is the nearest to her actual 1832 birth - but it's impossible to prove if this is her or not:

Name Mary Evans
Age 18
Estimated Birth Year abt 1833

Gender Female
Where born London, England

Well he may not have died in St George in the east if he was in hospital in another reg district

Have you found Harriet on later census

Delboy1978

Delboy1978 Report 9 Feb 2024 17:30

Sorry that was for Mary Ann Evans who I cant find in 1851 census but married in 1855 she lived at 5 Warner Place and she married George Hills who lived at 27 Warner Place in Bethnal Green.

Ive looked at it again and its says Robert Evans was deceased so that answers a question...staring at me in the face!!

I have edited my post to make it clearer who/What I am asking about.
