Next door to Andrew on the 1891 census is Elizabeth who I take to be Andrew's mother or at least a close relation, and her children. On the 1871 census Elizabeth plus husband and children, but minus Andrew are in Sussex.
RG10 1090 folio 126
In a tent with other families in tents or carvans Preston Sussex
William Dighton 32 Ellford, Sussex, Head Married Basket maker
Elizabeth Dighton 27 Sednam, Oxfordshire, Wife Married Hawker
Lauraine Dighton 7 Bexley, Kent, Daughter Hawker
Richalda Dighton 5 Hand Green, Surrey, Son Hawker
Dinah F Dighton 2 Sutton, Surrey, Daughter Hawker
The Dighton surname is being researched as a one name study

Freebmd is only a partial index transcribed by volunteers. If he is not on freebmd then you need to search the full GRO index - see above
Where was he in 1891 as I can't find an Andrew Deighton/Dighton b 1873 Croydon on the 1891 or 1901 censuses

Could any kind person please find me the birth of Andrew Dighton/ Deighton 1869 - 1873 Croydon ( if we go on his age at marriage it would be 1869/1870 ) I am desperate to find the next link in the tree and get further back. Thanks to Rootschatters i have just received his marriage to Caroline Smith his father is Andrew also but if we can get his mothers name from birth cert is Ellen it will confirm that he belongs to Jas (James ) Dighton & Eliza Lee family as shown on the 1851 census
The 1851 Census Plumstead Kent ? Coomon Open Ground
Jas Dighton Head widow 47 yrs Tinker & Grinder bn: Sawbridgeworth HRT (~1804)
Dighton John son 19yrs bn: Rainham Essex ~ 1824
Dighton Saunders son bn: White Rodden Essex ~ 1831
Dighton Isabella daughter bn: Capel Kent ~ 1834
Dighton William son bn: Ilfover Essex ~ 1837
Dighton Lawrence son bn: Barking Side Essex ~ 1842
Dighton Henry son bn: Swanscombe ~ 1847
Jas (james) Dighton?s wife I believe was Eliza Lee
Saunders Dighton (above 1851 census) was baptized and recorded on the lDS IGI Baptism site ?his mother is nominated as Eliza Lee and father James D(e)ighton
Any help however little would be greatly appreciated.
ONE SMALL LINK WOULD COMPLETE THE CHAIN.

Hi Irret
Have you checked the "Passing Through" site - there are lots of Croydon baptisms on there http://romany.rootschat.net/index.htm
Can you not find Andrew in 1881 and 1901
Do you know if he used an alias at all
Who were the witnesses to his marriage - can you place them
