Posted on the Beginners board??    Have asked moderator to move it to Herts board

Thanks Carole

Got the date wrong - should be 1885.

Yes, it is the Dorrington/Thomason family.

Have posted a number of posts re my search for the family of John Dorrington without success.  I have a lot of information on the family post 1885 but nothing before 1885 when the elusive John Dorrington was married.
Bit of a long shot but JD may have been living with a relative in Taylor Lane in 1885 when he got married.  (JD born Whittlesey in 1852.)
