Thank you very much for correcting me Ladyhawk, of course you are correct, I made an error in stating that Margaret's father was George, it is as you rightly say is Thomas!
That's ok Robin it happens
I've been looking to see if I could find a
Margaret & John Filingham together on census with a
father named Thomas there's a 1851 census entry surname
FILLIGAN father's occupation is a HAWKER
(see below)
Can't say if this couple are the same Thomas & Ann that married in 1841

From the marriage cert. for Margaret Fillingham do you read her father Thomas' occupation as POTTER of PORTER? The reason I ask is I've found a Fillingham/Allen marriage and Thomas' occupation is a POTTER
