Try searching on freebmd - Enter her hubands details and Elizabeth as Spouse's first name. There were only 3 male Maycock marriages in 1900.

I can check Folkestone area parish records in Folkestone library, if it's of any help.

The 1891 record posted by Thelma shows the family living in Guildhall Street, - right in the town centre today.

Hello Kim
The Alexander Maycock, father of William mentioned in the posts, is one of "mine". Alexander married Hannah Hutchinson. I have Alexander's family pretty well mapped if you'd like more Maycocks on your tree!
Best regards,
