I am looking for info on Thomas Dorricott @1836, his wife was Emma Durnal 1838-1876, they had a son John Dorricott 1866- married to Harriet Attwood 1872-1954. I hve been unable to find birth or death records for Thomas or a death entry for his son John.
Does anyone have any info or ideas where I may find any missing information.
Many thanks

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
As Thomas was born before Civil Registration was introduced
any birth/baptismal records would be on either the IGI at www.familysearch.org or in local parish records
The 1861 census shows him b Madeley 1836 but there is no IGI entry for his birth. Emma was also b Madeley
In 1861 they had a son Edward aged 3 so I think this may be Thomas with his parents on the 1851 census for Madeley transcribed as Dorrcott
All b Shropshire - children b Brace Meole (Meols?) except George
Corfield Row Madeley
Edward Dorricott 48 bricklayer b Condover
Ann 47 b Sherif Hales
Edward 18
Elizabeth 14
Charles 5
Henry 11
Jane Dorrcott 7
Samuel 10
Thomas 13
George 2 b Madeley Wood
Thomas Haynes 27 lodger

Thankyou both for the welcome and replies, I do have the census returns for Thomas and Emma back to 1861, but could find nothing prior to that or anything to indicate the names of Thomas's parents, hadn't thought of trying a different spelling 
Will now try the 1851 and hope for some luck there, so frustrating as it is the most important route and seem to be getting nowhere concrete past Thomas and Emma at the moment, can't even find death for him although I did find a birth at the records office in London.
Thanks again for your replies 
Deb

Hi I have already given you the 1851 details in my reply (just to save you searching) You may have "done a typo" and meant 1841 although I did find a birth at the records office in London Who were his parents
Oh sorry about that, I am confusing myself now! the birth record I found was for John Dorricott 1866, nothing at all for Thomas 
Thanks
Deb

Hi Deb
Take a deep breath and read on:
You want to trace Thomas Dorricott's ancestry - he was the father of John b 1866. Because he was born before 1837, we have to rely on census entries to track his parents
You know that Thomas married Emma Durnall so I have given the reference for their marriage above
A copy of their marriage certificate will show the name of Thomas's father and also his occupation
If his father was Edward - then the census info I have given above is correct and you have his parents
If it isn't - we go back to the drawing board with the new info

Thankyou, obviously I need to sort my thinking out! I already had the marriage reference for Thomas and Emma but hadn't thought to order the certificate so thanks for the pointer there!
You can tell I am new to this 
Thanks so much for your help, I am going to order the certificate now and will post with what I hope is good news when it replies.
Deb

Hi Annie
There is an 1833 marriage on the IGI for Edward Dorricott to Mary Owen so I think John belonged to them
