Maria Wilton, daughter of Henry Wilton and Sarah Staines, married Charles William Fuller (bap. 4 Nov 1832 in High Easter), son of Benjamin and Mary Ann Fuller, on 3 Oct 1862 in Great Dunmow, where, in 1861, Charles William Fuller, miller, was lodging.

Edith Mary (6) was staying with her grandparents, Henry and Sarah Wilton, while Annie (5) was staying with her other grandparents, Benjamin and Mary Ann Fuller.
