Mary Fava's Second Marriage

In 1892, Mary Fava married John Pollock, Gentleman (later described as 'Organist' in an Ancestry.co family tree.)
The witnesses at the marriage are:
Charles Stewart Drewry (brother-in-law)
Annie Isabel Drewry (niece-in-law, 12 years old)
Lilian Elliott

Mary Fava's Baptism

In 1896, aged 40, Mary's Baptism record in the Southwark parish, London, provides an 1860 birth date.
Mary appears to be hiding her age a little - as she does in the 1891 census.
(Mary is around ten years older than her second husband.)

Perhaps her husband of 4 years has discovered that Mary was never baptised?
On the other hand, the records show that there are many adults baptised in this parish in this year. Perhaps there was some evangelical mission happening.

In the 1901 Census at 38, Limesford Road, Camberwell.
