Notes for Arthur C Stopford
In 1882 he was probably married to either Fanny Beer or Catherine Anne Hendy:

Marriages Dec 1872
BEER Fanny Croydon 2a 355
Burch Thomas Croydon 2a 355
Hendy Catherine Anne Croydon 2a 355
STOPFORD Arthur Charles Croydon 2a 355
Doubtless the 1881 census will reveal all.
____________________
Indeed the 1881 census gave his wife to be Catherine Hendy, with the confirmation of a step-daughter with the Hendy name; this establishes that Catherine’s maiden name was not Hendy:
