Marriage between Thomas Dean and Elizabeth Ives

[sirsimon]

Hello

This is a marriage entry for Thomas Dean and Elizabeth Ives.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NX1S-4Y2

I am trying to find out the name of Thomas's father and I was wondering if anyone could check up the marriage to see if there is some information that may lead to a baptism for Thomas

thanks

Unfortunately - marriage entries for that period contain very little really useful info which may help to advance your research.  This is a rough guide to what you can expect.
Fathers names were not shown on marriage entries prior to 1.7.1837 which is the date when Civil Registration was introduced.  Mothers names are never shown on English marriage certs
Occupations were not shown

All you will get will be on the lines of the following - some of which you may already know

Names, date and venue

Spinster/bachelor - or widow/widower
Age = Full (over 21yrs) or Minor (under 21yrs)
Of this parish (OTP) - does not necessarily mean they were both born in that parish - just that they satisfied the short residential qualifying time required to enable them to marry there (approx 3wks)

The name and signature of the person marrying them plus the signatures of the 2 witnesses (occasionally more than 2 witnesses but not usual)

thank you

I expected the fathers name not to appear, but if there is an age, I can pinpoint a baptism

As stated above - ages are not shown

Here it is, as CaroleW says, not much info

most records that early are at St Nicholas'

Did he have two daughters, Ann Sancroft and Elizabeth Ingram?
If so he died 20 Feb 1830 buried 24 Feb age 65.

Looks like it

His daughter Elizabeth Dean married William Ingram

As they say "Where there's a will there's a relative"

As Yokel mentioned, he died aged 65 in 1830, so was born around 1765. His wife died a month before him, aged 64.

The witnesses to their marriage may help you track down the family further - they may be siblings
