Spouse Name: Janes Robinson - James
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 16 Jul 1854
Parish: Shoreditch St Mark

This matches the 1861 if he was a plumber but not sure of the name of the father on the image

I believe father's name is John Robinson, porter on that marriage record.

Researching:
Gt. grandfather Thomas Turnbull 1849-1894 (My candidate for Movember!!!)
