Possible marriage found for Nehemiah
Nehemiah Fuller to Hannah Johnson 22/07/1833 both were widowed but this marriage was at St Dunstan's  Stepney.

Also the 1851 census when Samuel is 16 and living with his mother the conditions column has a "m" in it, Hannah has "wid" inn the conditions column

Checked the churches in Witham from 1850 to 1872 no marriage for Samuel

Also checked backwards to 1848 no marriage

I think what looks a bit like an m for Samuel is a badly written u (unmarried) There are some quite young children below who have same letter.

In 1841 when Nehemiah still alive, there is a George age 15 with them. Could be Nehemiah's son with first wife.

I am really grateful for all the help and advice, thank you. The reason I am one generation down from Nehemiah is because he is VERY difficult to pin down.  I have all his 2nd marriage and death details.  But his birth, no record seems to exist. His first wife (married 1813) seems to be Amelia. But there are two surnames recorded. I'm not 100% sure she was Amelia (Emilie?).

Found the church record in Witham 15/10/1813 for Nehemiah Fuller to Amelia Turnihard both  single at time of marriage. Witnessed by Samuel Ives and William Constable.
Found two children for them in the records Alfred 1817 Thomas 1819 both baptism dates.

Also found but not yet confirmed a marriage for Nehemiah to Hannah Waters three children found George 1823 Elizabeth 1826 and Samuel 1835

Nehemiah may have been the son of Thomas Fuller and Sarah Trew who married 28/11/1784 in Witham he was a widower and she a spinster.

5th March 1783, Salome wife of Thomas Fuller (blacksmith) was buried at Witham. Could be same Thomas who later married Sarah Trew. He has same occupation as Nehemiah.
