Her name: Mary Kelly. Her age: twenty five. Her age on marriage: sixteen. Her husband's name: John Davies or Davis. His death in a mine explosion. She had a child living with her: six to seven years of age. etc etc. All well reported and easily found with a few keywords in a search engine.
There is John Davies killed in a mine explosion Brymbo 1880. This would place her marriage, common law or not, in the year 1878, 1877, if she were married to this collier for two to three years .
Why would 'Mary Kelly' move to London?
There is a correlation or at least coincidental data regarding the discredited Kellys of .Brymbo. I've not discounted them, not yet ...

Curiously, Bridget's mother (also called Bridget) comes from Roscommon Ireland and Edward Davies was born in Roscommon Ireland.
So why did 'Mary Kelly' go to London? Because her sister was there? I'm not saying I believe these people have a relationship with the Mary Kelly because I simply don't know, but the following is intriguing.
Bridget Kelly turns up again in the census of 1891, 1901 and then again in 1911. She's living in London with Edward Davies and he is listed as a cab driver:
