The_Ancient_One Report 7 Jan 2020 15:32

I am trying to find a marriage date for Thomas but seem to be going around in circles. Possibly due to not doing something correctly.
From the 1841 census, there is a Thomas Dimmock, b1791 age 50. There is also Mary Dimmock b1794 age 47. I am fairly certain that they lived in and around the Lambeth area of London most if not all of their lives. My problem is that I cannot locate any evidence of marriage so cannot order up any form of certificates. Could someone please advise what I should now try. (Nothing illegal or immoral or fattening please.)

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Eltham Street, Saint Mary Newington, Newington, London & Surrey, England

Thomas Dimmick - Widower Male 59 1792 Shoemaker New Cross, Kent, England

According to 1841 census he, his wife and eldest son were all born out of county. He is a shoemaker so I assume the above is the correct person. Possibly married in Kent at some point. Sarah b 1819 is also born out of county but may not be a daughter as no relationships shown.


Remarried by 1861 to Emma Bushell as I'm sure you know.

This is the nearest marriage I can find:-

First name(s) Thomas
Last name Dimmock
Name note -
Marriage year 1816
Marriage date 15 Sep 1816
Marriage place Stepney
Spouse's first name(s) Mary Ann
Spouse's last name Morgan
County London
Country England
Record set England Marriages 1538-1973

The marriage would be too early for a certificate. The best you can hope for is to find the parish record - either the one above or a different one.

Possible baptism for the Mary above:-

First name(s) Mary Ann
Last name Morgan
Gender Female
Birth year 1794
Birth place -
Baptism year 1795
Baptism date Dec 1795
Place Stepney
County London
Country England
Father's first name(s) James
Father's last name Morgan
Mother's first name(s) Mary
Mother's last name -
Record set England Births & Baptisms 1538-1975
