Thank you that marriage looks spot on, I'll look in a moment.

Thomas seems to be hiding himself which is so annoying. It would be helpful to have a clue as to who his wife was!

I suppose it is possible if Mary's father was completely estranged from her she might have the wrong name and it could possibly be William?

Your thoughts please. Thanks

Sue

Sorry it is Mary Ann that was me being dim.

The above marriage on Ancestry:

Name: William King
Spouse: Sarah Ann Warsop
Father: James King
Other: William Warsop

Have found James and Frances in 1861 - no son Thomas but there is a William and there is this marriage:

Marriages Mar 1863 (>99%)
KING William St Olave 1d 46
WARSOP Sarah Ann * Olave 1d 46

Finding their grandparents in 1861 might help - if Thomas is their son he might be with them.

I see from the 1871 that James was born in Dublin and Frances in Belfast - possibly they were still in Ireland in 1861, which would complicate things!

Mary Jane King b. 1866 Bermondsey, father Thomas King (as per marriage cert) carpenter.

I have found Mary and her sister Sarah here:

So if I have researched this correctly the grandchildren Mary and Sarah were staying with both sets of grandparents in 1871/1881

I am at a total loss trying to find their father Thomas King. Any help really appreciated because I have scrambled my brain and don't know how to progress.

Thanks
