I cant find any record of the marriage on FreeBMD but census suggests must have been between 1841 and 1851 as Matthew on his own 1841...
?

Where have The Baker & Camm surnames come from then?

[telboym8]

Just used first name of frances and searched families living in dorrington with a daughter named Frances still living in Dorrington in 1841  long shot but its only a small place and people didnt move very far in those days.clutching at straws maybe
