I think you have her Christine, and this could well be the marriage (although it is VERY late):

Marriages Dec 1897 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Armes Mary Ann E Mutford 4a 2109
Harvey Anna Mutford 4a 2109
JERVIS Frederick Samuel Mutford 4a 2109
WATSON John Mutford 4a 2109

I can't find another one with these names.

Hi Is anyone able to help me I am trying to find out WHEN and WHO
Anna Maria Harvey born 1858 Norton Subcourse Norfolk married I know his last name was Watson and their first child was Harry Watson was born 1881 in Brampton Suffolk. I have looked in the 1881 and 1901 census and found the family minus father.
In the 1911 census I can't find any member of the family
