Hi Anne, have you looked on the 1881 - 1901 census ?

FreeBMD has a marriage, altho they seem unsure if the Vol / Page is Romford in Hannah's case !

Marriages Jun 1872   
 
Byford  Hannah    Mutford  Vol 4a Page 179   
Byford  Hannah     Romford  Vol 4a Page 179   to Dorrington  William     same Romford Refns.

So it looks good overall.

The only Albert I can see in the Birth Indices is 1874 - 4Q -    Kensington  Vol 1a P248

whoops - he was an infant death   

Mostly female Dorrington births in Romford District in the few years after that marriage, and a William I think .....


I'll check the census ....

Looking at the 1881 census in the Romford area, some of the above births can be cross-referenced, but there is no sign of parents named William and Hannah   


Found a William (House Painter) and Hannah in West Ham - son Ernest, born 1876 Fulham ....

thanks for looking...i'm pretty sure that william was a police officer...

whats the source of info on Albert then ?   No sign of a Birth entry so far - did he appear on a later relatives marriage Cert ? or similar ?
