Find Ancestors

I am trying to find any information on where my husband's g/grandfather John Parker (1821) was born and lived before coming to Llanelli and marrying Rachel Griffiths in 1862.On his wedding certificate it states that he is a weighter in a silverlead mine in Llanelli area,and that his father was a carpenter called Edward. Family has it that he'd worked for a silversmith in the Old Kent Rd and lived in Bermondsey. I'd be grateful for any information as I'm completely stuck.

Hi, here is the marriage record. If you order this it will give fathers name, proper age and occupation:

Thanks Linda,I do Have his marriage certificate.It gives his yob as 1821 and his father's name as Edward,occupation carpenter. I had come accross the John Parker in Neath before, but as my husband and his family firmly beleaved the Old Kent Rd silversmith stories I didn't connect the two! Perhaps I should start researching John Parker, Neath. Maybe I will find something there.
Again many thanks for your help. Rose
