almach when I was looking for info on Emma I found the 1871 marriage and an 1880 American census record for George Lewis aged 35 birthplace Ohio United States, wife Emma Lewis aged 36 birthplace England & daughter Lottie Lewis aged 0 birthplace Ohio United States, all this from Ancestry, and although I have been looking for the Lewis family on our 1881 and upwards census records I have not yet found any further details about them.

Thanks for your clarification gardenpest29
We can now try to find the couple and possible children on census returns. I've not much time right now, but I think I did find possible census returns last night, if no-one else adds details I'll post later, if you find anything please update your thread.

Thanks almach. And power to your persistence in going through possibly umpteen George Lewis' before finding this one.
Gardenpest29 - I would advise you to obtain George's service record from Findmypast. Lots of details about him - including the fact that he was nowhere near Ohio in 1880!

Think this is George a widow in 1901, 3, East St, St Luke Chelsea. RG13; Piece: 72; Folio: 76; Page: 17
George Lewis 53, ??? Constable, Somersham Suffolk
George G Lewis 22, son, General Labourer, Chelsea.
If it is him his son George Robert must have died as a child, there's this possible: George Robert Lewis born 1870, death reg Oct-Nov-Dec 1870 lambeth 1d/258

Thanks almach for the 1891 and 1901 census details. For some reason I was having no luck. And I still can't find any of them in 1881.
In 1901 George senior is a Park Constable.
I did think I was doing rather well when I found not only a birth registration in September quarter 1877 Chelsea registration district for George Godfrey Lewis which must surely refer to George junior, but I also found a marriage for a George Godfrey Lewis in 1904 though I did wonder what he was doing in Coventry registration district. Turns out that's not our George who married. That's the George who was born Stoke-on-Trent district March quarter 1884.

Where I have been going wrong is I have been looking for Emma Lewis, not Amy. Will now refocus my efforts.
