A tree on http://www.mundia.com has his parents as John & Jane (Allington).

There are 9 children born to this couple and John's yob is given as 1887.

You may want to verify the tree info on the later censuses (sorry I don't have access), but here they are in 1881......

Having trouble finding the Allington girls in census 1871.

Just wondering about this one, but they are very common names:

MITCHELL, William Stepson M 10 1851 Scholar Lambeth, Surrey

I saw the Mitchell-Dimock marriage that PH posted but wasn't sure, as there seemed to be quite a difference in occupation between a gas fitter as per census 1851, and a printer.

On the other hand, six years between the marriage in 1844 and the 1851 census is plenty of time to change occupations.

I can't find a marriage yet for the Henry Chandler who married widowed Sarah Mitchell, I had hope if it were recorded in the LMA records that we might obtain the surname of her father.

Henry Chandler is also very much a toy boy - maybe they were just living over the brush as it were?

Re Jane Allington's parentage, I couldn't find the girls in 1871 to confirm, but my guess is that Mary A is actually Henry's wife and should have been recorded as daur in law not daur.

Marriage register for both Allington girls says father is Henry - bootmaker.

Hi PricklyHolly thank you for finding Sarah married to James Mitchell.

Please is it possible to find the grand mother and parents of Jane Allington b 1861 Northampton who married John Mitchell b 1853 Brixton

Thank you
Sheila
