Hi Zoe!

This is the marriage to which you refer:
Civil Registration event: Marriage
Name: HOYS, Mary Ann
Registration District: Bramley
County: Yorkshire
Year of Registration: 1885
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Volume No: 9B
Page No: 464
HAIRYES, William

In 1881, before her marriage:

1881 Census
HOYES, Mary Ann
BRAMLEY, Yorkshire (West riding)
RG11 piece 4503 folio 158 page 28
HOYES, Mary Head Widow F 48 1833 Home Duties Dom Lincolnshire
HOYES, Jonathan Son Single M 22 1859 Plate Layer Lincolshire
HOYES, Mary Ann Daughr Single F 20 1861 Woollen Rag Grinder Lincolnshire
HOYES, Sarah J Daughr Single F 18 1863 Woollen Rag Grinder Lincolnshire
HOYES, Alice Daughr Single F 14 1867 Invalid Derbyshire
HOYES, Beatrice Grand Daughter Single F 3 1878 Wortley Yorkshire

I haven't found her after her marriage so far, but will keep looking.

How do you know that's her, please, Elizabeth?

Info from her marriage certificate (June 8th 1885 at New Wortley parish church):

Mary Ann Hoys, age 25, spinster, residence New Wortley, father William Hoys (deceased), miller, witnesses William Thomas and Sarah Cotton.

There is also a marriage at New Wortley 15 Oct 1881 of Sarah Jane Hoyes, 19, to John William Burton, and Sarah Jane's father is William Hoyes, corn miller, witnesses David Hartley Higgins and Sarah Cotton, so it looks very likely indeed that the family Elizabeth posted up on the 1881 census is the right one as there is a Sarah J there.

This is the family in 1871, at 6 Hainsworth Street, Wortley:
William Hoyes Head Married 36 Brick Maker Nottinghamshire Holme(?)
Mary Hoyes Wife Married 37 Lincolnshire
Jonathan Hoyes Son 12 Lincolnshire
Mary Ann Hoyes Dau 10 Lincolnshire
Alice Hoyes Dau 4 Lincolnshire
Sarah Jane Hoyes Dau 8 Scholar Derbyshire

Why won't they say where in Lincolnshire they were born?!

Why do these names seem very familiar to me?

Bother, now ancestry isn't working so I can't find them in 1861 to (hopefully) see where in Lincolnshire she was born and know what to look for in 1891.
