I'm stuck, please can you help with two common surnames?

I have the original marriage certificate for my G,G, Grandparents. I am finding it hard to find the census info on the 1871 for the father John Scott and I think I may also have the wrong birth certificate for William now.
. .
Marriage Certificate,
Dec 4th 1870 Parish of Holy Trinity, Haverstock Hill, Middlesex.

William Scott 23yrs, Bachelor, occup Carman, 24 Prince of Wales Rd, father John Scott, occup Shoreman.

Charlotte Taylor 18yrs, Spinster, 15 Hartland Rd, father Thomas Taylor, occup Stonemason.

If anyone can help me go back any further, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks Diane

No sign of William. Can see her in 1851, but again no William, so may be not mother.

Hi Andy, thanks for the information, that was really quick. Is it possible to go back further with the 1861/51 census please?

Thank you Jeanette and Andy for your kind help. I will look into these. I'm still unsure of Priscilla's link to William though? Thought I had the correct birth year 1848, St Pancras, but I am now doubtful with that.
