Are you sure you've been following the same Andrew throughout?

The marriage record to Alice says his father is Thomas:

BUT the 1861 & 1871 censuses at Deadman's Lane say that Andrew's father was Richard:

In fact, I can't see the birth of an Andrew English in Oxfordshire 1850-60. How do you know "your" Andrew was born there?

Where was he actually born - your OP says Fulham and Oxfordshire?
Is this who you think is him -

Name: Mother's Maiden Surname:
ENGLISH, ANDREW BROWN
GRO Reference: 1853 J Quarter in KENSINGTON PADDINGTON AND FULHAM Volume 01A Page 109

1881 had him as single

Although he married in 1876, the 1881 census says he's unmarried - though of course census info isn't foolproof.

1911 census age would fit with death info posted by safc. Says married, so is Alice still alive?
