it wouldnt necessarily say deceased it depends on what the registrar asked for they could have just said fathers name and occupation

Thanks so much for that guys.

Toni, in the 1861 census does it give an address for Joseph?

snap Woody  

would you agree on looking for Mark Godden b. circa 1771 Not in Sussex (hopefully in Wiltshire) then

Would suggest you buy the death certificate to see who the informant was and if Mark was a Gardener

I will eventually buy the death certificate for Mark as I still need to get Joseph's as well.

Do parish records show the parents of a couple getting married?

Trowbridge is the county town of Wiltshire and the County Offices are there.   It is a fairly large town for this county and at one time was very important for the manufacture of cloth and as a market town.   Have a look at http://www.trowbridge.gov.uk/

Normally in the earlier part of the 19th century and before, parents were not mentioned in the marriage records of parishes.   Sometimes a parent would be a witness (but with no indication of relationship) or occasionally the vicar MAY give some mention of parent(s) ,but this is very unusual.
