Hi, please could anyone help with William Thomas Rogers c1830.

He is living in Brighton from at least 1851 onwards and gives his place of birth as London, Middlesex in the census, apart from 1871 when its Marlborough, Middlesex?? (possibly Marylebone???)
His year of birth changes from 1830, 1828 finally 1825 in the 1871 census. His occupation is always given as gardener. It appears he died sometime between 1871-81 but i cant find a record of that either that seems to fit with regards to age in the right area of the country.

I have his marriage certificate to Eliza Smith (who is also from Middlesex) in 1855 in Brighton, his age is given as 25 and fathers name as John Rogers, occupation Clicker.

I have tried searching for a baptism that fits but without knowing his mothers name or exact place of birth its difficult!
Any help with regards to his baptism, or anything pre 1851 would be a great help. Would there be any record of his moving to Brighton??

Sorry to ramble, thanks in advance!

Will
