Mary A Williams has turned out to be Sarah Ann Knight/Williams mother.

 

1881 Census - The Manse, Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire District  - 2 -  page 11
Name	Relation	Status	Age	Occupation	Place of Birth
Henry Furneaux	Head	Marr	51	Rector of Lower Heyford	St Germans, Cornwall
Elizabeth E Furneaux	Wife	Marr	38	Rector's Wife	St Margaret, Westminster, Middlesex
Agnes A M Furneaux	Dau	Unmarr	10	Scholar	Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire
Arthur L Furneaux	Son	Unmarr	8	Scholar	Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire
Claude H Furneaux	Son	Unmarr	5	Scholar	Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire
Margaret E Furneaux	Dau	Unmarr	2		Lower Heyford, Oxfordshire
Elizabeth Moon	Servant	Marr	32	Cook Domestic Servant	St Germans, Cornwall
Ann Howson	Servant	Unmarr	34	Nurse Domestic Servant	Buckland, Berkshire
Eliza Jordan	Servant	Unmarr	25	Housemaid Domestic Servant	Howshaw, Oxon
Fanny M Knight	Servant	Unmarr	18	Nursemaid Domestic Servant	St Germans, Cornwall

This is how Fanny ends up in Oxfordshire. Obviously Henry Furneaux was in St Germans' when she landed the job and the Furneaux family then moved to Oxfordshire taking Fanny with them.

John Henry Knight was on board ship in 1881 - I am not going to list the whole ships company so only John is below. It has yet to be confirmed that this is indeed the correct man but it seems more than likely.
