Death for a Mary Ann Elizabeth Errington

Has her father down as Joseph Errington quite possibly mistake by the person giving information

Rosie

The index has relative named as Joseph [DH] which is 'deceased husband', not father.

Thanks Debra,

I guess I'm still struggling to work out where Thomas went to after the birth of his daughter and as someone suggested earlier maybe he and Martha weren't married.

Also the Bailey connection sounds like a good line of enquiry but without knowing for sure do I want to spend money on a marriage certificate only to find out it isn't her. Then again I guess that's part of family history taking a swing at things and seeing what happens.

Information re the Errington family arriving per Lady Ann, 1857 plus the birth of Caroline Ellen Lady Ann ERRINGTON ,27 August 1857, on the voyage which is also recorded in the UK Register of births at sea.
Some of this has already been mentioned but thought it might be worth putting it altogether, and with a bit more detail.) (Once again, working backwards)

1851 census, at Harders? Rd, Peckham 
Joseph Errington   31, stoker at the? Works, b Barnett
Mary Errington   31, b Peckham as are all of the children
Martha Errington   7
William Errington   3
Anne Errington   4 Mo
Mary Wilson   70, mother-in-law (pauper), b Peckham
(Harders Rd is still shown on Googlemap but it's 20th century housing - perhaps bombed?)

Marriage at St Mary, Lambeth, 4 December, 1843
(Spelling of Willson is used on the image and is also the name signed by the bride)

Sorry, don't have time for a more extensive search  - there are some of the children shown on the FreeBMD index.

Some baptisms - fairly consistent in having the baptisms when the babies were about a month old, except for Joseph who must have been baptised shortly before they sailed.

Baptism: 28 April 1844 at church of St Mary Magdalene, Peckham
Martha Collins ERRINGTON d/o
Joseph (gas stoker) and Mary ERRINGTON, living at Orchard Peckham

Baptism: 15 February 1846 at St Giles, Camberwell (born 16 January, 1846)
Thomas William ERRINGTON s/o
Joseph (labourer) and Mary ERRINGTON, living at Harders Rd, Peckham

1847 William Joseph baptism shown in previous post

Baptism: 29 December, 1850 at St Giles, Camberwell (born 1 Dec, 1850)
Annie ERRINGTON d/o
Joseph (labourer) and Mary ERRINGTON, living at Harders Rd, Peckham

Baptism: 2 January 1853 at St Giles, Camberwell, (born 4 December 1852)
Emma ERRINGTON d/o
Joseph (labourer) and Mary ERRINGTON, living at Harders Rd, Peckham

Baptism: 28 June 1857 at at church of St Mary Magdalene, Peckham
Joseph ERRINGTON s/o
Joseph (labourer) and Mary Ann ERRINGTON, living at Peckham
Looks as though Joseph was aged about 2 as his birth is registered March Qr, 1855

Free BMD index has a couple of births and corresponding death for ERRINGTON infants registered Camberwell in the same time frame, but as it's only an index I can't tie them to Joseph and Mary. A couple of on-line trees have incorrect information.
