John Marriott c1827 Kensington

[nannyj]

I have John married to Charlotte Boyd in 1851 at Leyton. She is also visiting him on the 1851 census in Bromley, St Leonard.
I have their eight children born between 1852 and 1876.

I know that Charlotte's parents are William and Hannah. She was born in 1831 in Low Leyton, Essex.

I'm not looking for her ancestors as I've done this on another thread: https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=880638.0

However. any help going backwards from John would be appreciated.

What's his fathers name & occupation on the 1851 marriage cert?

The only 1841 entry in that rough locality was aged 15 & father was William occ Smith

Hi. I haven't got the cert. Doing the tree for a friend, so don't really want to spend out on it 🥺

Having enlarged this image without going onto the Essex records site (used to have a sub for years but stopped it) it looks like his father is Jonathan ... It says that her father is deceased (he died in 1832) and possibly that his father is too?

Hi there. I did see that one ... But he consistently says on censuses that he was born in Kensington and wondered if Hampstead was too far away? Also, I'm fairly sure (she says while squinting at the enlarged, fuzzy image 🤪) that he gives his father's name as Jonathan? 🤔

[CaroleW]

Yes - looking at it I would say it was Jonathan too
