Hi Poppyann, I've had a look on the Surrey Marriage Index which mostly covers rural Surrey & it's not there so maybe it was in Metropolitan Surrey, Lambeth or Southwark. Also looked on Pallots but no luck

Hi Poppyann, I'm just a little curious as to your source about the marriage as 1825 John the Baptist marriages in Croydon should appear on the Surrey Marriage Index but it doesn't I doubt whether the information about parents would appear on the parish records, witnesses might though so it's worth having a look.
You would have to see the actual register to try and confirm whether it could be Eleanor/Ellen or some other name. This is the only baptism in the BVRI index for Beckenham for Thomas and Mary.
