Hi Ambly
Many thanks for all of your efforts - greatly appreciated. Your dig looks a lot more thorough than mine and still we cannot find him - but I like your idea of getting Arthur's birth certificate - I'll follow up on that and will post the answer so that part of the riddle is answered
Henry B Tarrant who married Elizabeth Nightingale is my direct ancestor. The marriage certificate places them both in Great Dover Street at the time of the marriage but no house number - so possibly he was lodging in their house, another house or there as a guest. Interestingly Henry B Tarrant (from Andover) married Elizabeth Nightingale in 1870 in London , then his sister Elizabeth Tarrant married her brother Arthur Nightingale in 1884 in Andover after he had lived with them for a while. But to add some fun, Elizabeth's and Arthur's mother was Mary Ann Tarrant! So was she related to Henry and Elizabeth's father Henry? Haven't got a clue but it's another riddle I'm trying to solve! Hence why I'm trying to trace Mary Ann's birthplace and parents also.
thanks again
