So she marries Thomas in 1884 and he dies before 1891?

So the Paston is actually Purton?

Tracey, if you'd had given all these little bits at the beginning it might ahve made the search easier!

Every possible piece of info you have helps!

Tracey,

OK, so you might want to get the 1884 marriage cert.

It's possible that is him in 1881...

HARRINGTON, John Son Single M 0 1881 Poplar Middlesex

....and he's remarried in 1884?

Could something have happened to this Mary and/or John?

I have a death certificate for John Patrick harrington for 1959 and its suggested that Thomas Harrington (father) died about 1888 around 27 ish... have ordered a cert... waiting for it to come...

Right i must go and do tea now... got one hungary son - then swimming training for him so wont be on here till after 10 pm...

Thanks for everyones help x

Well, if John was his natural son and he was born in 1887, that would suggest Thomas was alive in 1887.

We have a possible Mary A a Widow in 1891, so there's a very small window to fit into.

I'm wondering if the 1881 Thomas is yours? There is a death for a John Joseph Harrington aged 2 in 1882 Poplar, that fit's the John on the 1881.

Could Mary have died too?

There are very few Stevedore's and i would imagine as it's a dock worker trade, it's a fairly skilled one?

The only Thomas Harrington, Stevedore on the 1891 census is a young lad. I cannot find anyone else that matches?

It's just a shame the 1884 marriage isn't online.... altho it probably is and i cannot find it....yet!

Someone will post it if it's about!!!
