Have you looked for the family on the 1911 census?

Jan

Marriage to Lockwood:

Marriages Dec 1899 (>99%)
Cocksedge Clara Cosford 4a 1574

Jan

Marriage to William - name mis-transcribed:

Cocksedge William James Cosford 4a 1018
GRIDLEY Clary Cosford 4a 1018

Maybe?

Definite - and this confirms 1891 as her children are there:

1901 England Census

Willis Cocksedge 18
Harry Cocksedge 14

Strangely, Clara has birthplace as London in both censuses which would rule out the above birth. Can''t see a London birth though.

I think this is her:

1881 England Census

Name: Clara Gridley
Age: 19
Estimated birth year: abt 1862
Relation: Servant
Gender: Female
Where born: London, Middlesex, England

Civil parish: Bradfield St Clare
County/Island: Suffolk

Street Address: Bury St Clares Lodge

Occupation: General Servant (Domestic)

Registration district: Thingoe
Sub-registration district: Rougham

Agnes Jane Wolton 54
Susanah E. Pyman 58
Sophia Lait 52
Clara Gridley 19
Eyrd Stukely 28

I would recommend getting a marriage cert to find out her father's name.
