Hi,
I'm trying to find birth references for my Great Grandfather Thomas Orchard.
On the census records it says he was born at Dorchester,Oxon in 1846-1848.
His mother was Harriet Orchard,believed to have been born in Burford around 1814.
Thomas is on the 1861 census living with his mother,Gideon Davis (who later becomes his step-father), sisters Rachel and Mary,and his brothers Joseph and Jonathon,unfortunately i can't find any earlier ref on Thomas or Harriet.
I would appreciate any help.

I have a copy of Harriet's marriage certificate to Gideon Davis in 1864 in Wallingford.
Witnessed by James and Martha Lamb.
Her father is James Orchard but it says he was a Blacksmith.
I also have a copy of Harriet's death certificate registered 18th February 1874,saying she was 60.
This is why we presumed she was born about 1814.
I also have a copy of Jonathon's birth certificate dated 9th December 1854 in Taynton,which is just outside Fulbrook.
Father's name is blank.
We did have a feeling Thomas may have come from a travelling family as his occupation has often been classed as Tinworker/Brazier/Journeyman.
Thomas lived in Fulbrook with his 1st wife Mary ann.Together they had alot of children,but Mary died in 1888.
On the 1891 census my great grandmother Maria Agnes Pettifer is living in the house as a visitor with her 3 children.In 1892 they have their 1st ( of many) children together.
Interestingly though i can't find a reference of their marriage.

There's another Orchard marriage in Wallingford (St Mary) -
Oct 3 1842 George X Orchard - full age, bachelor, otp, sweep, s/o Joseph, basketmaker &
Eve X Sherry or Skerry - full age, spinster, otp, d/o Joseph, brazier.
I've also found Harriet's marriage entry in the Brightwell (St Agatha) PRs (must have been under the Wallingford Registration District?) -
20 Dec 1864 Gideon Davis - bachelor, 34, tinker of Brightwell, father Thomas Davis, blacksmith
Harriett Orchard - spinster, full age, of Brightwell, father Joseph Orchard , basket maker
