Wightwick surname help

[ach95r]

Hi,

I trying to push back further with one strand of my family tree, the Wightwick's who were living in London in the period 1800-1850 at least - and further.

In particular I am having problems with Thomas, born around 1811 in St Lukes (info from a later census). He married an Emma Gray in 1834, but the marriage record doesn't tell me anything other than their names. I have all the information on his children (birth / death certificates etc) but it doesn't help going back. I have no idea to brothers/sisters or parents. I know he was born in St Lukes, however I spent a fruitless day in the Metropoliton Archives searching for a birth record to no avail - I suspect it was due to my inexperience.

If anyone has got any thoughts on how I might be able to get on with finding more about his early years (1811-34) I would be so grateful.

Cheers

Andy
