Good morning, and wow! 

Bookbox how did you find that?  Do you have access to Workhouse records?  Sometimes if I post here, I feel I'm missing something major in my research tools as I have access to familysearch and Ancestry.  Ancestry are now showing more detailed records for some places in the country, but it's only a small percentage.

I'll get further into it later today and wait for the marriage.  What's really interesting is that the family lived in Clarendon Street, Paddington in later years.   :D

Thank you both!

Do you have access to Workhouse records?
The Wandsworth workhouse birth is on Ancestry, in their London Births and Baptisms database. Many children born in a workhouse/infirmary were still unnamed when the birth register was written up, so it can be helpful to search by mother's name rather than child's.

Unfortunately, for the Wandsworth & Clapham Union, there are almost no other surviving records before about 1870.

What's really interesting is that the family lived in Clarendon Street, Paddington in later years.
You'll find all the Paddington addresses are nearby to each other.
