I'm new to all this- how do I go about ordering this and before I do, how can I know this is the exact person that I want?

You can order it from here

You could use his dads name as a ref if you have Georges marriage cert

The district S Thomas covers Topsham, so im 99% sure its the right man

I assume he married in Australia as Agnes Kate born 1855 is on the IGI

Researching:
Barking, East London, Kent.

Yes, he married in Australia, probably South Australia as that is where he brought his children up (Leslie was my grandfather) and he died in SA
