John Dorrington

[keyboard86]

So I did not read through all Canada thread, but on GRO Index a Margery Dorrington birth was registered 1897 Biggleswade 03b 379 mmn Thomason, or has this already been located?

I wonder how much information zetlander has now, as it looks as if they just want John's place of birth? This doesn't look as if it was Cambridgeshire though.

I can’t find him in 1881 in Leeds 

Can anyone just give me a pointer please?

Has this been mentioned before?

That's probably this birth?

Births Jun 1852   
DURRINGTON    John Thomas        Wisbech    3b   592

No maiden name given on the GRO site so possibly illegitimate.  Could this be why we can't findJohn in early censuses? Possibly he made up a father on his marriage certificate?

[groom]

Forget that as he died as a baby.

Thanks groom.
I found later censuses but not 1881 as zetlander states.
