Notes for Margaret E Keddle (?)
Found in all censuses from 1881 to 1911.

But her marriage has not been found.  In 1911 they said they had been married for 43 years which indicate 1877-8.

FreeBMD and FindMyPast show for a search for a ‘Margaret E’ born in Dorset in 1845 +/- 1 year:

Surname   First name(s)      District   Vol  Page
Births Jun 1845   (>99%)
KEDDLE Margaret Ellen Beaminster 8 13
Births Jun 1846   (>99%)
Andrews Margaret Elizabeth Dorchester 8 55
Births Sep 1846   (>99%)
Scott Margaret Eliza    Blandford 8 17

Netherbury is in the Beaminster district, so the first of these, Margaret Ellen Keddle is the most probable.
_________________

A search of the 1851 census showed that Margaret Keddle was a daughter of Sherring Keddle, a solicitor, and his wife Anne.  This couple had six daughters and four servants.  In 1961 the family has disappeared from Dorset.

Notes for John James & Margaret E (Family)
In the 1911 census they said they had been married for 43 years, which means that their union started c. 1878.

But no marriage found in any of FamilySearch, FreeBMD or FindMyPast.
